The Prevention of Radiocontrast-Agent–Induced Nephropathy by Hemofiltration

Abstract
Nephropathy induced by exposure to radiocontrast agents, a possible complication of percutaneous coronary interventions, is associated with significant in-hospital and long-term morbidity and mortality. Patients with preexisting renal failure are at particularly high risk. We investigated the role of hemofiltration, as compared with isotonic-saline hydration, in preventing contrast-agent–induced nephropathy in patients with renal failure.
