Background: The choice of radiographic contrast media for use in patients at increased risk of contrast-induced nephropathy is of ongoing interest. Materials and Methods: The current study is a prospective, randomized in which comparison of nonionic, isoosmolal agent, iodixanol, versus the nonionic, low-osmolal agent, iohexol, on the renal effects was carried out. A total of 526 subjects with impaired baseline renal functionand diabetes mellitus underwent diagnostic and/or therapeutic coronary angiographic procedures. The coprimary end points were the peak increase in serum creatinine and the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy, that is, ≥0.5 mg/dl in serum creatinine from baseline within 72 h of receiving contrast media. Results: Of the 129 patients, 97 received iodixanol and 97 received iohexol randomly. The median peak increase in serum creatinine in the iodixanol arm was 0.10 mg/dl; whereas in the Iohexol arm, the median peak increase was 0.09 mg/dl (P = 0.13). The overall contrast-induced nephropathy incidence was 10.5% in the iodixanol arm and 9.8% in the iohexol arm (P = 0.7). The volume of contrast media, volume of saline administered, frequency of coronary interventional procedures, and severity of baseline kidney disease and of diabetes mellitus were similar between treatments. Conclusions: In the present study, the overall rate of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus undergoing coronary angiographic procedures was 10.5%. There was no significant difference between iodixanol and iohexol in either peak increase in serum creatinine or risk of contrast-induced nephropathy. |
