Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are vulnerable to contrast‐induced acute kidney injury (CI‐AKI) after cardiac catheterization. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for clinically significant CI‐AKI and evaluate the predictive value of contrast volume to estimated glomerular filtration rate ratio (V/eGFR) for the risk of CI‐AKI following catheterization in the ACHD population.
