Objective: We tested whether gadolinium-based contrast agent is less nephrotoxic than iodinated-contrast media. Background: lodinated contrast agents are nephrotoxic. Some data suggest that gadolinium-based contrast agent may be less nephrotoxic than iodinated-contrast media. Methods: Twenty-five consecutive patients with chronic renal insufficiency (creatinine concentration >= 2.0 mg/dl and/or clearance 0.05 for all). Increase of at least 0.5 mg/dl of the creatinine concentration 48 hr after the procedure occurred in 7/25 (28%) patients in the Gadolinium-based group and in 2/32 (6.5%) patients in the lodinated-based group (P = 0.034; OR = 4.48; 95% CI = 1.01-19.17). Renal failure requiring temporary dialysis occurred in 2 (8%) patients in the Gadolinium-based group and in none in the lodinated-based group (P = 0.19). Conclusions: The strategy of gadolinium-based contrast agent administration does not seem to reduce the rate of CAN, as compared to the iodinated iso-osmolality contrast agent inpatients with chronic renal insufficiency.
