Background: There is a lack of sufficient data regarding the protective effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients at risk of developing contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Thus, this study was conducted to determine whether RIPC as an adjunct to standard therapy prevents CIN in high-risk patients undergoing coronary intervention.
Methods: In a single-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, 162 patients who were at risk of CIN received standard hydration combined with RIPC or hydration with sham preconditioning.
