Exposure to contrast media in the perioperative period confers no additional risk of acute kidney injury in surgical patients

Zealley I, et al. - This study was implemented to explore the link, if any, between the timing of contrast media (CM) exposure during the immediate perioperative period and risk of post-operative acute kidney injury (AKI).
