For outpatient radiological studies where renal function data are unavailable, a simple survey or questionnaire may be used to identify outpatients at higher risk for AKI in whom appropriate precautions should be taken.
Choyke et al.411 (Figure 13) used a questionnaire and could identify a high proportion of patients with normal SCr concentrations, and reduced by 67% the number of patients in whom SCr measurement was necessary before imaging studies.
The European Society of Urogenital Radiology386 recommends a risk-factor analysis based on the Choyke questionnaire to identify patients with a higher risk of abnormal renal function. The CI-AKI Consensus Working Panel410 considered that a survey or questionnaire may be a useful guide for identifying patients at higher risk for CI-AKI compared to the general population.
