Is it better to choose immediate dialysis treatment for renal transplant patients after PCI?

摘要

Administration of iodinated contrast agents can give rise to allergic/hypersensitivity reactions and contrast-induced nephropathy.In extremely rare cases,intravascularly administered iodinated contrast agents can trigger contrast-induced encephalopathy(CIE)in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).[1]Here,we describe the case of a male patient diagnosed with CIE after undergoing PCI with a non-ionic contrast agent,iodixanol.This is the first such case to be reported in a patient undergoing hemodialysis after kidney transplantation.
