Conclusions: The incidence of CI-AKI after CA or PCI was higher in patients with CKD associated with diabetes. Lower levels of basal hemoglobin appeared to be related to a higher risk of CI-AKI, and contrast media volume, especially if exceeding the dose adjusted for renal function, was a strong modifiable risk factor for CI-AKI.
