==Choice of contrast agent==
The [[osmolality]] of the contrast agent is believed to be of great importance in contrast-induced nephropathy. Ideally, the contrast agent should be iso-osmolar to [[blood]]. Modern iodinated contrast agents are non-ionic, the older ionic types caused more adverse effects and are not used much anymore.
 
Iso-osmolar, nonionic contrast media may be the best according to a [[randomized controlled trial]].<ref name="pmid12571256">{{cite journal |author=Aspelin P, Aubry P, Fransson S, Strasser R, Willenbrock R, Berg K |title=Nephrotoxic effects in high-risk patients undergoing angiography |journal=N Engl J Med |volume=348 |issue=6 |pages=491-9 |year=2003 |pmid=12571256}}</ref>
 
Hypo-osmolar, non-ionic contrast agents are beneficial if iso-osmolar, nonionic contrast media is not available due to costs.<ref name="pmid2643042">{{cite journal |author=Schwab S, Hlatky M, Pieper K, Davidson C, Morris K, Skelton T, Bashore T |title=Contrast nephrotoxicity: a randomized controlled trial of a nonionic and an ionic radiographic contrast agent |journal=N Engl J Med |volume=320 |issue=3 |pages=149-53 |year=1989 |pmid=2643042}}</ref>
 
==Hydration with or without bicarbonate==
Administration of sodium bicarbonate 3 mL/kg per hour for 1 hour before , followed by 1 mL/kg per hour for 6 hours after contrast was found superior to plain saline on one [[randomized controlled trial]] of patients with a creatinne of at least 1.1 mg/dL (97.2 µmol/L) .<ref name="pmid15150204">{{cite journal |author=Merten G, Burgess W, Gray L, Holleman J, Roush T, Kowalchuk G, Bersin R, Van Moore A, Simonton C, Rittase R, Norton H, Kennedy T |title=Prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy with sodium bicarbonate: a randomized controlled trial |journal=JAMA |volume=291 |issue=19 |pages=2328-34 |year=2004 |pmid=15150204}}</ref> To make the solution, the study used 154 mL of 1000 mEq/L sodium bicarbonate to 846 mL of 5% dextrose. This is approximately three 50 ml ampules of bicarbonate in 850 ml of water with 5% dextrose.  This was subsequently corroborated by a multi-center [[randomized controlled trial]], which also demonstrated that IV hydration with sodium bicarbonate was superior to 0.9% normal saline<ref name="pmid17309916">{{cite journal |author=Briguori C, Airoldi F, D'Andrea D, Bonizzoni E, Morici N, Focaccio A, Michev I, Montorfano M, Carlino M, Cosgrave J, Ricciardelli B, Colombo A |title=Renal Insufficiency Following Contrast Media Administration Trial (REMEDIAL): a randomized comparison of 3 preventive strategies |journal=Circulation |volume=115 |issue=10 |pages=1211-7 |year=2007 |pmid=17309916}}</ref>.  The renoprotective effects of bicarbonate are thought to be due to urinary alkalinization, which creates an environment less amenable to the formation of harmful [[free radicals]].<ref name="pmid11822926">{{cite journal |author=Mueller C, Buerkle G, Buettner H, Petersen J, Perruchoud A, Eriksson U, Marsch S, Roskamm H |title=Prevention of contrast media-associated nephropathy: randomized comparison of 2 hydration regimens in 1620 patients undergoing coronary angioplasty |journal=Arch Intern Med |volume=162 |issue=3 |pages=329-36 |year=2002 |pmid=11822926}}</ref>.
 
Alternatively, one [[randomized controlled trial]] of patients with a creatinine over 1.6 mg per deciliter (140 µmol per liter) or creatinine clearance below 60 ml per minute used 1 ml/kg of 0.45 percent saline per per hour for 6-12 hours before and after the contrast.<ref name="pmid7969280">{{cite journal |author=Solomon R, Werner C, Mann D, D'Elia J, Silva P |title=Effects of saline, mannitol, and furosemide to prevent acute decreases in renal function induced by radiocontrast agents |journal=N.

Overview

Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as either a greater than 25% increase of serum creatinine or an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL.[1]

To minimize the risk for contrast-induced nephropathy, various actions can be taken if the patient has predisposing conditions. These have been reviewed in a meta-analysis.[2] A separate meta-analysis addresses interventions in for emergent patients with baseline renal insufficiency.[3]

Three factors have been associated with an increased risk of contrast-induced nephropathy: preexisting renal insufficiency (such as Creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min [1.00 mL/s] - online calculator), preexisting diabetes, and reduced intravascular volume.[4][5]

A clinical prediction rule is available to estimate probability of nephropathy (increase ≥25% and/or ≥0.5 mg/dl in serum creatinine at 48 h)[6]:

Choice of contrast agent

The osmolality of the contrast agent is believed to be of great importance in contrast-induced nephropathy. Ideally, the contrast agent should be iso-osmolar to blood. Modern iodinated contrast agents are non-ionic, the older ionic types caused more adverse effects and are not used much anymore.

Iso-osmolar, nonionic contrast media may be the best according to a randomized controlled trial.[7]

Hypo-osmolar, non-ionic contrast agents are beneficial if iso-osmolar, nonionic contrast media is not available due to costs.[8]

Hydration with or without bicarbonate

Administration of sodium bicarbonate 3 mL/kg per hour for 1 hour before , followed by 1 mL/kg per hour for 6 hours after contrast was found superior to plain saline on one randomized controlled trial of patients with a creatinne of at least 1.1 mg/dL (97.2 µmol/L) .[9] To make the solution, the study used 154 mL of 1000 mEq/L sodium bicarbonate to 846 mL of 5% dextrose. This is approximately three 50 ml ampules of bicarbonate in 850 ml of water with 5% dextrose. This was subsequently corroborated by a multi-center randomized controlled trial, which also demonstrated that IV hydration with sodium bicarbonate was superior to 0.9% normal saline[10]. The renoprotective effects of bicarbonate are thought to be due to urinary alkalinization, which creates an environment less amenable to the formation of harmful free radicals.[11].

Alternatively, one randomized controlled trial of patients with a creatinine over 1.6 mg per deciliter (140 µmol per liter) or creatinine clearance below 60 ml per minute used 1 ml/kg of 0.45 percent saline per per hour for 6-12 hours before and after the contrast.[12]

Methylxanthines

Adenosine antagonists such as the methylxanthines theophylline and aminophylline, may help[3] although studies have conflicting results.[13] The best studied dose is 200 mg of theophylline given IV 30 minutes before contrast administration.[14][15]

N-acetylcysteine

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) 600 mg orally twice a day, on the day before and of the procedure if creatinine clearance is estimated to be less than 60 mL/min [1.00 mL/s]) may reduce nephropathy.[16]. A randomized controlled trial found higher doses of NAC (1200-mg IV bolus and 1200 mg orally twice daily for 2 days) benefited (relative risk reduction of 74%) patients receiving coronary angioplasty with higher volumes of contrast[17].

Since publication of the meta-analyses, two small and underpowered negative studies, one of IV NAC[18] and one of 600 mg give four times around coronary angiography[19], found statistically insignificant trends towards benefit.

Some authors believe the benefit is not overwhelming.[20] The strongest results were from an unblinded randomized controlled trial that used NAC intravenously.[21] A systematic review by Clinical Evidence concluded that NAC is "likely to beneficial" but did not recommend a specific dose.[22] One study found that the apparent benefits of NAC may be due to its interference with the creatinine laboratory test itself.[23] This is supported by a lack of correlation between creatinine levels and cystatin C levels.

In one study 15% of patients receiving NAC intravenously had allergic reactions.[21]

Prophylactic hemodialysis

Patients with chronic renal insufficiency and a creatinine over 309.4 µmol/L (3.5 mg.dl) who have elective coronary catheterization, a randomized controlled trial found benefit from prophylactic hemodialysis[24]

Other interventions

Other pharmacological agents, such as furosemide, mannitol, dopamine, and atrial natriuretic peptide have been tried, but have either not had beneficial effects, or had detrimental effects.[12][25]
