Patients with pre-existing kidney disease are at high risk of acute renal failure when exposed to radio-contrast dyes, for example during a cardiac angiogram. The investigators hypothesize that an infusion of saline + furosemide + mannitol will reduce rates of contrast-induced nephropathy when compared with saline infusion controls.
