Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Intravenous N Acetyl Cystein
1200 mg IV N- Acetyl Cystein half an hour before contrast administration. This group will also take oral placebo
|
Drug: IV N-Acetyl Cystein
Bolus IV administration of 1200 mg N- Acetyl Cystein half an hour before contrast media administration
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Patients on both oral placebo and IV placebo just like patients on oral and IV N-acetyl cystein groups in regard of dose and timing.
|
Drug: Placebo group
The patients in this group will be received both oral placebo and IV placebo
|
Active Comparator: Oral N Acetyl Cystein
Patients on 600 mg oral N-Acetyl Cystein bid started at the day before contrast exposure and continue until the next day of contrast exposure.These patients will also take IV placebo
|
Drug: Oral N-Acetyl Cystein
Oral N-Acetyl Cystein 600 mg bid started the day before contrast administration and continue the day after exposure to contrast
|
- Increase in serum creatinine more than 25% of baseline [ Time Frame: 24 hours, 48 hours after exposure to contrast media ]
- Increase in serum creatinine more than 25% of baseline [ Time Frame: The 5th day after exposure to contrast media ]
