Renalguard, hemofiltration and hydration in prevention of contrast induced nephropathy in patients with severe chronic kidney disease undergoing percutaneous vascular interventions

Abstract

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a frequent complication of percutaneous coronary and peripheral artery interventions and is associated with significant in-hospital and long-term morbidity and mortality. We aim to compare the impact on major events of RenalGuard system(RG), continuous veno-venous Hemofiltration (CVVH) and hydration (Hy) with sodium bicarbonate plus N-acetylcysteine in patients with severe renal failure
