Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) in preventing contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients receiving intravascular contrast.
- The study analyzed 16 randomized controlled trials involving 2,175 patients and found that RIC significantly reduced the incidence of CI-AKI and major adverse cardiovascular events.
- Both types of RIC, known as remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPrC) and remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPoC), were effective, and perioperative hydration may enhance RIC's benefits.
Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) on improving kidney transplant graft function using data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
- Six RCTs with a total of 651 kidney transplant recipients were analyzed, showing that RIC could potentially reduce the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF), although the results were not statistically significant.
- The study concluded that while RIC might have some protective effects on kidney grafts, more comprehensive and larger RCTs are needed to confirm its clinical benefits.
