(Feb. 6 issue)¹ regarding the lower incidence of contrast-medium–induced nephropathy in patients with diabetes and a serum creatinine concentration of 1.5 to 3.5 mg per deciliter who were treated with iodixanol, as compared with those who received iohexol, is promising. The authors claim that a high ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine did not correlate with a high peak increase in the serum creatinine concentration. Although it is easier to use a single urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio than a 24-hour urine collection to screen for proteinuria, this approach has its own limitations.² . . .
