Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether additional therapy with Aminophylline to hydration with sodium bicarbonate and administration of N-acetylcysteine is more effective to prevent contrast induced acute kidney injury in patients undergoing primary coronary intervention for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 4

Detailed Description

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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Aminophylline

Additional Aminophylline therapy to hydration (sodium bicarbonate) and N-acetilcysteine

Drug: Aminophylline
200 mg of aminophylline administrated intravenously as a short infusion, started in emergency department, before primary angioplasty and contrast medium administration Sodium bicarbonate (154 mEq/L in dextrose and H20) 3mL/kg for 1 hour before contrast medium, followed by an infusion of 1 mL/kg/h for 12 hours after procedure N-acetilcysteine: intravenous bolus of 1200 mg before angioplasty and 1200 mg twice daily for the 48 hours after PCI

Active Comparator: Control group

Control group treated with hydration (sodium bicarbonate) and N-acetilcysteine

Drug: Hydration plus N-acetylcisteine
Sodium bicarbonate (154 mEq/L in dextrose and H20) 3mL/kg for 1 hour before contrast medium, followed by an infusion of 1 mL/kg/h for 12 hours after procedure N-acetilcysteine: intravenous bolus of 1200 mg before angioplasty and 1200 mg twice daily for the 48 hours after PCI

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Incidence of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury [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

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Adverse clinical events [1 month]

    Adverse clinical events within 1 month including in-hospital death and need for dialysis or hemofiltration
