Brief summary
There is a pressing need to find effective strategies for the prevention of contrast induced nephropathy in patients with advanced renal dysfunction. The current study was designed to assess the efficacy of a new protocol for preventing contrast induced nephropathy in patients with advanced renal dysfunction undergoing coronary interventions
Interventions
Patients planned for coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention will be managed using a protocol that allows us to use minimal volumes of contrast dye

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate\<45ml/min undergoing coronary angiography due to one of the following indications in accordance with the 2014 guidelines: 1. Elective coronary angiography due to symptoms suggestive for angina with a positive non-invasive ischemia assessment of ≥10% of left ventricle. 2. Non ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome with a GRACE score\>110
Exclusion criteria
* Patients on dialysis or those planned for dialysis in the next 3 months. * Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction * No symptoms or signs of heart failure * Treatment with IV diuretics during the 48 hours prior to enrolment * Patients with acute renal failure (Creatinine raise of at least 0.3mg/dl from )baseline * Patients post coronary artery bypass surgery
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in glomerular filtration rate following coronary angiography or intervention | 24 and 48 hours post procedure | Significant changes are defined as a reduction ≥25% in glomerular filtration rate |
