Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious complication in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients, which may be related to the contrast dose used during cardiac catheterization. Methods We prospectively investigated 277 consecutive consenting patients with acute ST-segment...
