Sodium Bicarbonate Versus Saline for the Prevention of Contrast-induced Nephropathy

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2005
Contrast-induced nephrophaty (CIN) accounts for more than 10% of hospital-acquired renal failure. Hydration with sodium bicarbonate is more protective than isotonic saline in animals. Limited data are available in humans. We compared the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate versus isotonic saline to prevent CIN in a large population of patients with renal dysfunction undergoing coronary angiography or intervention.
