Renal Failure, 02/13/09
Budhiraja P et al. - Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a form of acute kidney injury and a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Two patients in the normal saline group and none in the bicarbonate group needed dialysis. There was no significant difference in serum creatinine at three-month follow-up in either group. The above findings suggest that hydration with intravenous sodium bicarbonate is more effective than normal saline in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy.
