Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of a diet prior to administration of contrast agent in terms of a preventive procedure which leads to an attenuation of the contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).

Patients with a known kidney disease are especially at risk. A potential beneficial effect of a diet prior to intervention has been shown in investigations in mammals, therefore this study will investigate if a pre-interventional diet in patients with known kidney disease and scheduled contrast agent examination can attenuate or prevent a post-interventional loss of kidney function.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with contrast agent examinations are at risk for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and in succession acute renal failure which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. None of the currently used preventive procedures show a benefit in terms of a CIN-prevention.

Experimental data suggests, that a pre-interventional caloric restriction might provide kidney protection in this context. This clinical trial investigates if this phenomenon is also applicable in humans. Patients with increased risk for a post-interventional renal failure due to known chronic kidney disease are randomized in 2 groups. Patients of the diet group receive a calorie restriction to 60% of the calculated daily energy rate from day -4 until day -1 (included) pre-intervention (day 0 corresponds to day of intervention). Patients of the control group receive alimentation ad libitum.

Primary objective is the increase of serum creatinine in mg/dl 48 h after begin of intervention in comparison to baseline value obtained in the morning of the day of intervention (day 0) in order to analyse if a pre-interventional calorie restriction as a preventive strategy leads to an attenuation of post-interventioal kidney injury.

Hypothesis: A four day calorie restriction reduces the increase of serum creatinine after administration of contrast agent in patients with known chronic kidney disease. ;
