Pre-en posthydration in chronic kidney disease: Difference between revisions

In coronary angiography and PCI, contrast fluids are used. The most common type of contrast fluid used is fluid containing iodine. Iodine can cause contrast induced nephropathy, an acute deterioration in kidney function(> 25% or > 44 micromol/l elevation of creatinine) 2 to 5 days after intravascular fluid administration[1].  

For prevention of contrast nefropathy, in the Netherlands the guideline issued by the CBO is used[2]. It advised for patients with eGFR < 45 ml/min to hydrate periprocedural. In patients with eGFR < 60 ml/min in combination with risk factors for nephropathy are also advised to hydrate. Risk factors are mentioned in table 1.

*Diabetes mellitus

*Peripheral arterial disease

*Decompensatio cordis

*Age > 75 years

*Anemia

*Symptomatic hypotension

*High volume contrast fluid

*Dehydration

*Medication: diuretics, NSAID’s

*eGFR < 45 ml / min | + diabetes mellitus

*eGFR < 60 ml / min | + 2 risk factors (table 1)     

*eGFR < 60 ml/min  | + M. Kahler or M. Waldenstrom with excretion of light chains urine

*Normal | 0.9% NaCl 0.9% 3-4 ml/kg/hr 4 hours pre- and postprocedural

*Slow | 0.9% NaCl 0.9% 3-4 ml/kg/hr 4 hours pre- and postprocedural

*Fast | 1.4% NaHCO3 3 ml/kg/hr 1 hour preprocedural and 6 hours postprocedural
