Acute Kidney Injury | Drug: Aminophylline Drug: Hydration plus N-acetylcisteine | Phase 4 |
Due to the clinical relevance of contrast acute kidney injury a large number of prophylactic procedures have been investigated. N-acetylcysteine and hydration with sodium bicarbonate are proved to be protective against contrast acute kidney injury. The adenosine-mediated afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction is a possible pathomechanism of renal impairment by contrast agent. It has been observed that aminophylline/theophylline, competitive adenosine antagonists, improves oxygen delivery to ischemic tissue, diminishes oxidative damage to renal tissue and may also scavenge free radicals.
The purpose of this study was to investigated whether the additional therapy with adenosine antagonist aminophylline reduces the incidence of contrast renal damage in high risk patients who have acute myocardial infarction.

- Incidence of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury [ Time Frame: 3 days ]Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury is defined as an increase in serum creatinine of >=25% or 0.5 mg/dL over the baseline value within 3 days after the administration of the contrast medium
- Adverse clinical events [ Time Frame: 1 month ]Adverse clinical events within 1 month including in-hospital death and need for dialysis or hemofiltration
