Article Synopsis
- This study compared sodium bicarbonate and saline for hydration in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in at-risk patients undergoing intravascular contrast media exposure.
- In this randomized, double-blinded trial, 152 patients received either sodium bicarbonate or saline alongside theophylline, with the incidence of CIN measured by serum creatinine levels before and after the procedure.
- Results showed that sodium bicarbonate significantly reduced the incidence of CIN compared to saline, demonstrating better renal function recovery in patients who received bicarbonate hydration.
