Vitamin E and N-acetylcysteine for Preventing Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Artery Catheterization
Coronary Artery Disease, Coronary Artery Angiography, Coronary Catheterization
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Coronary Artery Disease
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients aged ≥18 years with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study group formula) who undergo coronary catheterization (i.e. coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]) will be invited to the study if they meet the inclusion criteria: stable angina with ischemia and indication for coronary angiography, non-ST-segment elevation (NSTE) acute coronary syndrome (ACS) requiring an early invasive strategy, and patients undergoing elective PCI .
Exclusion Criteria:
acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, high-risk NSTE-ACS warranting emergency coronary angiography (<2 hours), cardiogenic shock, pulmonary edema, overt heart failure and/or ejection fraction <30%, ACS undergoing coronary angiography or angioplasty during the previous 5 days, sensitivity to contrast medium, recent administration of contrast medium for any reason, AKI, history of dialysis, pregnancy, newly prescribed angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, bleeding and/or coagulopathy diseases, and consumption of nephrotoxic drugs, vitamin E, vitamin C, or N-acetylcysteine (NAC) at least 48 hours before intervention.

Placebo
Vitamin E
NAC
Normal saline 0.9% infusions (1 mL/kg) for 12 hours prior to and after coronary catheterization combined with the placebos of both vitamin E and NAC (i.e. the placebo of vitamin E as a soft gel capsule and the placebo of NAC as an effervescent tablets along with a glass of water with the same consumption order used in the groups 2 and 3, respectively).
Normal saline 0.9% infusions (1 mL/kg) for 12 hours prior to and after coronary catheterization combined with vitamin E 800 IU orally 2 hours before intervention and 400 IU orally 4 hours after intervention plus the placebo of NAC with a consumption order similar to group 3.
Normal saline 0.9% infusions (1 mL/kg) for 12 hours prior to and after coronary catheterization combined with NAC 1200 mg orally 2 hours before intervention and 1200 mg orally 4 hours after intervention plus the placebo of vitamin E with the consumption order similar to group 2.
