2 CIN (CI-AKI) definition Both clinical studies and ESUR definition (Thomsen H. Curr. Opin. Urol. 2007; 17: 70) Increase in serum creatinine (scr) 0.5 mg/dl and/or 25% from baseline within 3 days of CM exposure The absence of other causes (e.g. atheromatous embolic disease, ischemia, other nephrotoxins, etc.) Stage I AKIN definition CIN definition scr. increase Increase in scr 0.3 mg/dl or 0.3mg/dL 150 to 200 % from baseline (Metha R.

5 Possible explanation for risk reduction of CIN 90 s Arterial 00 s Arterial today Venous - Lower CM dose: ± ± ± 19 ml - Better preventive strategies for intra - arterial CM administration (Bicarbonate infusion?, NAC?) - Lower patient related risk in i.v. patients

26 Take home message on Bicarbonate and NAC prevention for CIN. To give or not to give? Bicarbonate seems to be more effective than normal saline for short-duration prehydration protocol (Primary PCI and/or in absence of previous renal function data) Given its favorable side effect profile,the use of daily high dose NAC ( 2400 mg) (oral or i.v.) seems reasonable in risk patients undergoing CM administration
