CONTRAST INDUCED NEPHROPATHY RISK

**ADD POINT(s) TOTAL FOR THE FOLLOWING**

-Systolic Blood Pressure < 80 mm Hg = 5 points

-Intra-aorticl Balloon Pump = 5 points

-Congestive Heart Failure (NYHA Class III-IV and/or pulmonary edema) = 5 points

-Age > 75 years - 4 points

-Hematocrit (<35% for women; <39% for men) = 3 points

-Diabetes = 3 points

-Contrast Media Volume - 1 point for each 100 mL

-Renal Insufficiency (Serum Creatinine level > 1.5 g/dL) = 4 points
-OR may use estimated GFR:
-GFR = 40-60 mL/min/1.73 m2 = 2 points
-GFR = 20-40 mL/min/1.73 m2 = 4 points
-GFR < 20 mL/min/1.73 m2 = 6 points

TALLY UP SCORE

Score < 5 points
-Risk of CIN = 7.5%
-Risk of Dialysis = 0.04%

Score = 6-10 points
-Risk of CIN = 14%
-Risk of Dialysis = 0.12%

Score = 11-16 points
-Risk of CIN = 26.1%
-Risk of Dialysis = 1.09%

Score > 16 points
-Risk of CIN = 57.3%
-Risk of Dialysis = 12.8%
