Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a major concern in clinical practice, particularly among high-risk patients with preexisting renal and cardiovascular conditions. Although periprocedural hydration has long been the primary approach for CI-AKI prevention, recent advancements have led to the development of novel approaches such as RenalGuard and contrast removal systems. This editorial explores these emerging approaches and highlights their potential for enhancing CI-AKI prevention. By incorporating the latest evidence into clinical practice, health-care professionals can more effectively maintain renal function and improve outcomes for patients undergoing contrast-enhanced procedures.
