Contrast-induced nephropathy: how it develops, how to prevent it.
No current treatment can reverse or ameliorate contrast-induced nephropathy once it occurs, but prophylaxis is possible. Many preventive measures have failed to show benefits in well-designed, prospective, randomized, double-blinded trials. This review will focus only on the prophylactic strategies that have possible or proven value.
متن کاملN-acetylcysteine in Preventing Contrast-Induced Nephropathy. To Give, or Not To Give: That is the Question
Iodinated contrast agents are widely used for diagnostic and therapeutic cardiovascular procedures. In the last 2 decades, there has been a 5-fold increase in the number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in the United States, accounting for more than 1.3 million procedures in 2008. 1 Likewise, between 1992 and 2004, a 3-fold increase in coronary angiography and a 5-fold increase in ...
متن کاملHow to Prevent Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Clinical Practice
After the description of the Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN), its epidemiology and its pathogenesis, the risk factors for the development of CIN are discussed in depth, the main ones being pre-existing renal impairment, particularly secondary to diabetic nephropathy, salt depletion and dehydration, congestive heart failure, age greater than 70 years and concurrent use of nephrotoxic drugs. T...
متن کاملShould acetylcysteine be used to prevent contrast induced nephropathy?
Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that require the infusion of iodine containing contrast solutions are associated with the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy, a condition that can cause significant morbidity. Acetylcysteine has been proposed as a measure to prevent this condition. Searching in Epistemonikos database, which is maintained by screening 30 databases, we identified 20 systema...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Traffic Lights on the High Contrast and Brightness Conditions and Structure Technology
Nowadays, the use of intelligent control systems to reduce human error is one of the most popularresearch fields. Design and implementation of such controllers requires to actual knowledge of theenvironment conditions. Traffic lights as one of the inputs of intelligent control systems are significant.usually the traffic lights have the various physical structure. also, generally in image proces...
