A prospective, multicenter, three-cohort study evaluating contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with cirrhosis

•AKI risk in cirrhosis after intravenous administration of iodinated contrast media was low.•It seemed not to be significantly different from that of the general non-cirrhotic population.•It mostly consisted of mild and rapidly resolving episodes of renal dysfunction.•Iodinated contrast media administration was not associated with subclinical tubular kidney injury.•The presence of concomitant infections was the only independent predictor of contrast-induced AKI.
