About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study on Incidence and Prevention of Contrast-induced Nephropathy in Croatia With the Use of Standard Laboratory Measures and Novel Biomarkers

The study is analysis of the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with previously normal renal function undergoing angiography and comparison between the three different treatment protocols on renal function.

Patients are randomly assigned to the three groups: 1) peroral hydration, 2) Na bicarbonate (NaHCO3), and 3) NaHCO3 plus N-acetylcysteine (NAC) infusion.

Serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are measured before and 48 hours after the angiography. CIN was defined as an absolute increase of 0.5 mg/dL or a relative increase of >25% in creatinine levels 48-72 hours after the procedure

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomly assigned to the three groups: 1) peroral hydration, 2) Na bicarbonate (NaHCO3), and 3) NaHCO3 plus N-acetylcysteine (NAC) infusion The first group of patients receives standard peroral hydration of 1500 ml water on the day of the procedure.

The second group receives 3 mL/kg/hour of Na bicarbonate, an hour prior to angiography and 1 mL/kg/hour, within six hours after angiography.

The third group receives parenteral NAC (1200 mg twice a day) one day before angiography, on the day of the angiography, and one day after the diagnostic procedure in addition to Na bicarbonate solution on the day of the angiography.

The low-osmolar iodinated contrast agent was used.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sodium bicarbonate and N-acetylcysteine in people with Kidney Diseases and Contrast Media Reaction, run by Clinical Hospital Centre Zagreb.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

renal function before and after diagnostic procedure by measuring Serum creatinine in µmol/mL (time frame: 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 May 2016.
