profilassi CON

English translation: CIN profilaxis

13:28 Jan 22, 2019
Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Diagnostic tests
Italian term or phrase: profilassi CON
"Un angio-TC con profilassi CON ha mostrato una stenosi carotidea sx severa (>80%)."

Does "profilassi CON" refer to the prophylaxis given to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN)?
This patient is elderly (over 80 years of age) and has a degree of renal impairment, so this would make sense.

Can anyone confirm, and also suggest the best way of translating this?
I'm thinking of "contrast prophylaxis" or "CIN prophylaxis."

Any help appreciated!

Explanation:
Your hypothesis does make sense, especially since I wasn't able to find "CON" in my medical abbreviation database. Is it possible that there's a mispelling in the document? If it clearly says "CON" you might have to ask the doctor (or a doctor)
