Prophylaxis Strategies for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

Abstract: While several risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy have been identified, the development of an effective prophylaxis strategy for contrast-induced nephropathy has been limited by our poor understanding of the pathophysiology and the clinical significance of this condition. Future research should focus on correctly identifying higher-risk patients and testing therapies in the setting of large well-powered clinical trials.

“…1,2) CIN is most frequently defined as an increase in serum creatinine (sCr) by 25-50% above the baseline. 5) However, sCr is an unreliable indicator during acute changes in kidney function, and alterations in sCr levels are not particularly sensitive or specific for small changes in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). 6) In addition, sCr level could also be influenced by many factors such as age, gender, race, and intravascular volume.…”

“…Newer iso-osmolar IRCM is theoretically less cytotoxic due to lower osmolarity (similar to plasma, ϳ300 mOsm), compared with low-osmolar IRCM. 19,20 However, complex mechanisms other than osmolarity alone are acting as well. IRCM effects on infarct volume and ICH may be due to osmotic, direct neurotoxic, hydrostatic, or vascular occlusive effects.…”

“…Currently, the standard of care in the management of patients requiring coronary diagnostic imaging is sufficient hydration, minimisation of the volume of contrast agent, and careful use of nephrotoxic drugs [11]. Antioxidant (AO) supplementations such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), vitamin C, vitamin E, and alpha-lipoic acid are known as cytoprotective agents with scavenging action against oxygen free radicals that can also attenuate renal damage and inhibit pro-inflammatory markers, such as interlukin-10 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha [12]. This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to determine the strength of evidence for effects of anti-oxidants such as NAC, vitamin C, vitamin E, and alpha-lipoic acid on the incidence of CIN, requirement for haemodialysis, level of serum creatinine, and mortality after coronary angiography.…”
