Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is defined as the impairment of renal function—measured as either a 25% increase in serum creatinine(SCr) from baseline or a 0.5 mg/dL(44 µmol/L) increase in absolute SCr value—within 48-72 hours after intravenous contrast administration. [1]

It is called: Chaitanya Jatin Contrast Induced Nephropathy(CJ-CIN) score

Dr’s Chaitanya Kulkarni, Jatin Kothari, Prasad Modak & Alan Almeida have collaborated /worked together to devise the CJ-CIN score.

We at the Department of Nephrology devised a simplistic risk score for the prediction of CIN after conducting a prospective study of 1300 patients exposed to parenteral contrast agents
