5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The general objective of this open, pilot study is to characterize biological parameters related to acute kidney injury among patients undergoing a programmed coronarography with injection of contrast material. The study focuses on two main factors that may influence acute kidney injury: (1) sodium chloride hydration strategy versus sodium bicarbonate hydration strategy and (2) presence of oral L-carnitine treatment versus absence of oral L-carnitine treatment. We will also test for a potential interaction between these two factors.

For 12 hours preceding the coronarography, and for 12 following the coronarography, 0.9% sodium chloride at 1 ml/kg/h is administered via a slow intravenous perfusion.
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Hydration strategy using sodium bicarbonate
Intervention Description

Intervention Name(s)
L-carnitine
Intervention Description
Before the coronarography (D-1), 1 gram of L-carnitine is administered via an oral solution that can be diluted in a small amount of sugar water if necessary. This administration corresponds to the beginning of a hydration protocol. For days 0 to 7 after the coronarography, patients are administered an oral L-carnitine solution (3 grams of L-carnitine per day). The latter may be diluted in a small amount of sugar water if needed.

Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Coronarography
