A recent study found that patients with cirrhosis who undergo contrast-enhanced CT scans are not at a higher risk for developing acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to those without cirrhosis. The study suggests that the use of contrast-enhanced CT scans in cirrhosis patients does not increase the risk of AKI. The findings provide reassurance for clinicians and patients regarding the safety of using contrast-enhanced CT scans in this population. It is important for patients to be aware of the risks and benefits of these procedures and to discuss them with their healthcare providers.
