The prevention of radiocontrast-agent-induced nephropathy by hemofiltration.
BACKGROUND Nephropathy induced by exposure to radiocontrast agents, a possible complication of percutaneous coronary interventions, is associated with significant in-hospital and long-term morbidity and mortality. Patients with preexisting renal failure are at particularly high risk. We investigated the role of hemofiltration, as compared with isotonic-saline hydration, in preventing contrast-a...
متن کاملN-acetylcysteine in the prevention of radiocontrast-induced nephropathy.
N-acetylcysteine is a remarkably active agent shown to be useful in a variety of clinical settings. The drug has actions relevant to radiocontrast-induced nephropathy (RCIN) that include vasodilatation, enhancement of renal medullary blood flow, and antioxidant properties. The drug's pharmacokinetics are remarkable for almost complete first pass metabolism after oral administration, resulting i...
متن کاملHemofiltration in the prevention of radiocontrast agent induced nephropathy.
AIM The aim of the study was to investigate the role of hemofiltration in preventing contrast nephropathy in patients with renal failure. METHODS We randomized 114 renal failure patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) to either peri-procedural hemofiltration or saline hydration. RESULTS Contrast nephropathy occurred in 5% of hemofiltration-treated patients and in 50% i...
متن کاملRadiocontrast induced nephropathy.
In spite of improvements in chemical structure, contrast media assisted X-ray examination is still the third leading cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. An increase >50% or >88 micro mol/L in S-creatinine is a clinically important acute renal failure. The peak in S-creatinine occurs within 2-5 days after exposure. The frequency of oliguria, transient or permanent haemodialysis is un...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with heart failure undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired renal failure and increase in the mortality and length of hospital stay after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PURPOSE To evaluate the protective effect of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) on CIN in patients with heart failure undergoing PCI. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the prospective, plac...
