MESNA for Prevention of Acute Deterioration of Renal Function Following Contrast Agent Application

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Renal Insufficiency
Serum Creatinine Concentration
Contrast Media Exposition
Registration Number
NCT00223548
Lead Sponsor
University of Ulm
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine wether Mesna could prevent contrast-induced nephropathy

Detailed Description

Contrast-induced nephropathy remains a common complication of radiographic precedures. Pretreatment with Mesna (Sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate) in combination with sodium chloride is more protective than sodium chloride alone in animal models of acute renal failure.

The aim of this study is therefore to determine laboratory and clinical benefit of MESNA, as an adjunct to saline hydration, in patients with known renal impairment receiving contrast media.
