Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine wether Mesna could prevent contrast-induced nephropathy

Detailed description

Contrast-induced nephropathy remains a common complication of radiographic precedures. Pretreatment with Mesna (Sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate) in combination with sodium chloride is more protective than sodium chloride alone in animal models of acute renal failure. The aim of this study is therefore to determine laboratory and clinical benefit of MESNA, as an adjunct to saline hydration, in patients with known renal impairment receiving contrast media.

Inclusion criteria

* stable chronic renal insufficiency * serum creatinine concentration \> 1,5 mg/dl

Exclusion criteria

* Dialyzed patients * patients with acute renal failure * received iodinated contrast media within 7 days before study entry * known allery to Mesna, pregnancy, and administration of dopamine, mannitol or N-acetylcysteine

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Contrast-agent associated nephrotoxicity was defined as an increase in serum creatinine concentration >0.5 mg/dl (44 umol/l) of the baseline value 48 h after administration of the contrast media.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Need for dialysis after the administration of contrast media.
