Article Title: Cancer surveillance imaging: Does repeated iodinated contrast exposure impact long-term kidney function?
Abstract: Background:, Contrast-induced nephropathy is a well-recognized acute complication in cancer patients, but the long-term effects of repeated contrast exposure are not known. We analyzed the association of the number of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) examinations and other clinical factors with decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in colorectal cancer survivors. Materials and methods: We retrospectively queried a prospective surgical colorectal cancer database to identify patients with stage I or II cancer who underwent resection in 2007 - 2013 and were alive for at least 3 years. eGFR was calculated before and 3 years after the surgery with >= 20% decline relative to baseline defined as significant and used as the primary outcome. The association of clinical factors with the primary outcome was analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Only 256 patients with the median follow-up of 65 months had sufficient clinical data for analysis. Median eGFR decline at follow-up was 3.0 InL/min/1.73m2 or 4% change from baseline. 47 patients (18%) had > >= 20% reduction in eGFR, which was not associated with the number of CECT examinations. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that increasing age (OR. 1.03: 95% CI, 1.00 - 1.06), presence of diabetes (OR, 2.33: 95% CI. 1.18 - 4.61), and longer operation time (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01 - 1.07) were independently associated with a higher likelihood of >= 20% eGFR decline at 3 years. Conclusion: Older age, diabetes, and longer operating time, but not cumulative contrast exposure were found to be associated with worse long-term renal outcomes following surgical resection in patients with early-stage colorectal cancer who survived 3 years.
