Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), an acute kidney injury resulting from the administration of intravascular iodinated contrast media, is an important cause of morbidity/mortality following coronary angiographic procedures in high-risk patients. Despite preventative measures intended to mitigate the risk of CIN, there remains a need for an effective intervention. Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC), where non-injurious ischaemia is applied to an arm prior to the administration of contrast, has shown promise in attenuating CIN but its effectiveness in preserving long-term renal function is unknown, which will be studied as part of the effect of remote ischaemic conditioning against contrast-induced nephropathy (ERICCIN) trial. ( http://Controlled-trials.com Identifier: ISRCTN49645414.) METHODS: The ERICCIN trial is a single-centre, randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled trial which plans to recruit 362 patients who are at risk of CIN, defined by pre-existent renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73 m(2)), over a period of 2 years. Patients will be randomised to either control or RIC consisting of 4, 5 min 200 mmHg balloon-cuff inflation/deflations, to the upper arm. The primary endpoint will be the development of CIN (>25 % of eGFR, or rise of creatinine of >44 μmol/l) at 48 h. A key secondary endpoint will be whether RIC impacts upon persistent renal impairment over the 3-month follow-up period. Additional secondary endpoints include the measurement of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and urinary albumin at 6, 48 h and 3 months following administration of contrast.
