[ 1 ] - Cotreatment with Furosemide and Hypertonic Saline Decreases Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Serum Creatinine Concentrations in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized, Single-Blind Clinical Trial

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs both after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and after hypertonic saline administration; furosemide may be useful in preventing AKI indirectly. Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL) is superior to serum creatinine (sCr) in diagnosing early AKI. We compared the administration of hypertonic saline plus furosemide (HTS+F) versus hypertonic saline (HTS...

[ 3 ] - Overconsumption of contrast media in percutaneous coronary intervention: Focusing on cost and acute kidney injury

Irrational use of medicines is a major problem worldwide. Since iodixanol (Visipaque®) was categorized in Category I (AV) based on the ABC-VED analysis in our hospital, we evaluated the amount of visipaque use and estimated the incremental cost based on the maximum contrast dose (MCD) following irrational use of contrast media. This retrospective study was conducted on 100 admitted patients age...
