Clinical and Experimental Evidence for Prevention of Acute Renal Failure Induced by Radiographic Contrast Media

Abstract: Abstract. Acute renal failure still occurs as a complication after radiographic examination using iodinated radiocontrast medium. The incidence rate of radiocontrast medium-induced nephropathy (radiocontrast nephropathy) is low (2 -3%) in general. However, the rate is remarkably elevated in patients with pre-existing renal insufficiency. Radiocontrast nephropathy is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with percutaneous coronary interventions. Although the reduction in re… Show more

“…At present, it is the third most important cause of acute renal failure in hospitalized patients, accounting for 12% of all cases and contributing to prolonged hospital stay and increased medical costs. 1 The present evidence indicates that the pathogenesis of CIAKI is mainly related to renal hypoxia, direct nephrotoxicity, and oxidative stress. 2 Oxidative stress seems to play an important role in CI-AKI.…”

“…13,14 Beraprost, a synthetic analog of prostacy-clin, has also been shown to protect against direct tubular damage and apoptosis induced by contrast media. 15,16 These findings suggest that attenuation of the renal vasodilatory action of prostacyclin may be a critical factor underlying the development of CIN.…”

“…The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation (11) In accordance with other studies (1,3,4,9,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17), CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine of 44.2 μmol/L (0.5 mg/dL) or more within 72 h after the administration of the contrast agent. Creatinine levels at 30 days, which were 44.2 μmol/L or more above the baseline creatinine level before heart catheterization, were classified as elevated creatinine levels at 30 days.…”
