Contrast-enhanced computed tomography plays an important role in emergency and intensive care units. Contrast media is one of the most commonly used agents. Its administration may potentially lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). 1 However, it remains unknown whether intravenous contrast media may increase the risk of AKI in patients with sepsis. 2 Sepsis is a major cause of admission to intensive care settings and hospital death, and is also a risk factor for AKI. 3 4 Therefore, it is important to study the association between contrast media and the incidence of AKI in patients with sepsis.
