Abstract:
Renal failure is relatively common in children presenting to the emergency department, suggesting that the assumption of normal renal function is not always valid. Although some computed tomography (CT) scans necessitate the use of intravenous contrast, one should probably consider whether a blood test is necessary to assess the patient\'s renal function and possibly consider other imaging modalities before proceeding. With no pediatric-specific guidelines and no validated pediatric prevention strategies, further research is needed to establish clear recommendations for contrast-enhanced exams in stable and unstable pediatric patients with unknown renal function.
摘要:
肾功能衰竭在急诊就诊的儿童中相对常见,这表明肾功能正常的假设并不总是有效的。尽管某些计算机断层扫描(CT)扫描需要使用静脉造影,患者可能应该考虑是否有必要进行血液检查以评估患者的肾功能,并在进行之前考虑其他影像学检查。没有儿科特定的指南,也没有经过验证的儿科预防策略,对于肾功能未知的稳定和不稳定的儿科患者,需要进一步的研究为对比增强检查建立明确的建议.
