Implication

A clinical trial compares hydration strategies to prevent kidney damage during coronary procedures.

Key Points

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of oral hydration versus intravenous hydration in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy during coronary procedures.
Randomized trial with 120 patients assigned to three groups: intravenous hydration, oral hydration, and postprocedural drinking water.
Measured serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels before, 12 hours after, and 2 and 3 days post-procedure.
Compared incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy among the groups.
No significant differences in renal function or hydration outcomes across the three groups.
Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was similar: 5.0% for intravenous and postprocedural oral hydration, 7.5% for pre-procedural oral hydration.
Renal function recovered within a week for all patients who developed contrast-induced nephropathy.
