Visipaque (iodixanol) and hexabrix (ioxaglate) in renal insufficiency.
I read with great interest the RECOVER (Renal Toxicity Evaluation and Comparison Between Visipaque and Hexabrix in Patients With Renal Insufficiency Undergoing Coronary Angiography) study by Jo et al. (1). They compared the renal tolerance of iodixanol and ioxaglate in patients with renal insufficiency after coronary angiography. They found that the incidence of contrastinduced nephropathy (CIN...
متن کاملIs Nebivolol Really Effective in Preventing Contrast Induced Nephropathy?
BACKGROUND/AIMS Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) has multifactorial etiopatogenesis including oxidative stress and vasoconstriction. Nebivolol is an antioxidant and has vasodilatatory effect via NO release and may prevent CIN development. We have noticed that a few number of studies that have evaluated the effectiveness of nebivolol for the prevention of CIN used serum creatinine (sCr) levels...
متن کاملPreventing contrast-induced nephropathy: a basic solution.
This is a good quality study that demonstrates a dramatic decrease in the incidence of contrast nephropathy with the use of sodium bicarbonate infusion prior to contrast administration. However, this study does have some shortcomings. The small sample size resulted in relatively wide confidence intervals and made the generally low attrition rate more significant. The data was not analyzed on an...

Copyright © 2006 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 71-year-old man with type 2 diabetes and hypertension is referred for coronary angiography. His medications include metformin and a thiazide. Before the angiogram, his serum creatinine level is 1.8 mg per deciliter (160 μmol per liter), yielding an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 40 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area. What ca...
