The question I've been asked most as we endure the legal dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration is, "What can we do about it when it's not election season?" @timothynoah.bsky.social has an outstanding essay in the @newrepublic.com addressing that question. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

I've never been to an M&M about kidney injury attributable to iodinated contrast. I've been to several M&Ms for adverse outcomes from missed/delayed diagnoses because people hesitated to use IV contrast for fear of what we now know to be a ghost
So without a randomized clinical trial this is what we are left with. The highest quality epidemiology studies are unable to detect any increase in AKI, so those bumps in creatinine following contrast are almost certainly run of the mill AKI and not contrast induced AKI.
