Acetylcysteine for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy after intravascular angiography: A systematic review and meta-analysis

BACKGROUND Contrast-induced nephropathy is an important cause of acute renal failure. We assess the efficacy of acetylcysteine for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy among patients undergoing intravascular angiography. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing prophylactic acetylcysteine plus hydration versus hydration alone i...

بررسی اثرات ان - استیل سیستئین در جلوگیری از نفروپاتی مواد حاجب ناشی از آنژیوگرافی عروق کرونر در افراد با عملکرد کلیوی طبیعی

Background and purpose: N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has been found to reduce the risk of Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) in chronic renal insufficiency after CT imaging with contrast enhancement. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of NAC, for the prevention of CIN in normal renal functioning patients undergoing coronary angiography. Materials and Methods: We prospe...

Effectiveness of N-Acetylcysteine for the Prevention of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

BACKGROUND Conflicting results have been obtained in trials that have evaluated the prophylactic efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) pretreatment in the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). In this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of NAC treatment for the prevention of CIN. METHODS AND RESULTS PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Libr...
