Efficacy of single-bolus administration of sodium bicarbonate to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with mild renal insufficiency undergoing an elective coronary procedure.

29 Sep 2009 We sought to clarify whether a single-bolus intravenous administration of sodium bicarbonate in addition to hydration with sodium chloride prevents contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). One hundred forty-four patients with mild renal insufficiency ... Read more...

Lack of nephrotoxicity of gadodiamide in unselected hospitalized patients.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The nephrotoxicity of gadolinium-based magnetic resonance contrast media has not been adequately studied. METHODS: We evaluated the nephrotoxicity of gadolinium-based contrast media in hospitalized patients who underwent magnetic ... Read more...

Peritubular capillary preservation with COMP-angiopoietin-1 decreases ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury.

3 Aug 2009 Ischemia followed by reperfusion induces microvascular endothelial cell injury, leading to the loss of functions such as regulation of vascular tone, tissue perfusion, permeability, and inflammation in kidney. Improvement of this endothelial ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Renal Insufficiency, Acute'

Definition: Conditions in which the function of KIDNEYS deteriorates suddenly in a matter of days or even hours. It is characterized by the sudden drop in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE; (GMR). The most severe stage is when the GFR drops below 15 ml per min (ACUTE KIDNEY FAILURE).
