Özet

Objectives: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a complication that is underestimated in clinical practice after cardiac catheterization. Recently, the value of interleukin (IL)-18 as a novel biomarker for the detection of acute renal failure has been highlighted. In the present study, we sought to investigate whether urine IL-18 may be an early diagnostic marker of CIN.
