The use of iodinated contrast media (CM) continues to be a common cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure ( ARF) and its development increases the in-hospital mortality significantly [1, 2, 3, 4] as well as increasing the length of hospital stay [5]. Contrast media-induced nephropathy (CMIN) is defined as an otherwise unexplained acute deterioration of renal function after intravascular administration of iodinated CM. Although the clinical features and the histopathological findings of CMIN have been well described [6-9], its pathogenesis, prevention and best treatment modality remain uncertain.
