Summary

The purpose of the present study is to assess the role of the RenalGuard System as compared to the optimal strategy (sodium bicarbonate infusion plus N-acetylcysteine (NAC)) in high and very-high risk patients to prevent contrast-induced acute kidney injury contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). Consecutive patients with chronic kidney disease, referred to our institutions for coronary and/or peripheral procedures, will be randomly assigned to 1) prophylactic administration of sodium bicarbonate plus NAC (Systemic alone therapy group; n > 133) and 2) RenalGuard System treatment (RenalGuard group; n > 133). All enrolled patients must have an estimated glomerular filtration rate =0.3 mg/dL in the creatinine concentration 48 hours after the procedure. This study will give important answers on how to prevent CI-AKI in high and very-high risk patients undergoing contrast media exposure.
