Polymorphism of Oxidative Stress Genes in the Pathogenesis and Antioxidant Prevention of Contrast Induced Nephropathy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
With the wide use of contrast agents in clinical diagnosis and treatment, contrast induced nephropathy(CIN) accounts for 1/3 of hospital acquired acute renal failure.The mortality rate of patients with CIN is up to 35%,and about 30% patients with permanent renal dysfunction.Prevention and treatment of this iatrogenic complication and reducing morbidity has become an urgent task to every medical worker.
Now the pathogenesis of CIN is not clear,while the toxicity of renal tubular epithelial cell and the hypoxia of renal medullary is likely to be the main mechanism of CIN.Iodine contrast agent concentrate in the tubular and collecting duct and directly damage cells,leading to tubular cell death;also induce the release of renal vasoconstrictors,such as adenosine, endothelin, causing acute vasoconstriction.Furthermore,oxidative stress and the inflammatory response induced by ischemia may worsen kidney function.
Thus a large number of studies focus on oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of CIN.Recently,some studies have shown that oxidative stress proteins play an important role in acute renal injury(AKI),and have reported that these proteins of different genotypes related to the incidence and prognosis of AKI.
Therefore,the investigators speculate whether some patients have genetic potential of increased oxidative stress,and are more prone to contrast induced nephropathy? At present,there are a great number of researches about preventive measures of CIN.The firstly and widely used therapy is hydration.But it just dilutes iodine contrast medium in renal tubular and collecting duct,increases urine output to prevent the formation of tubular crystals.According to the pathogenesis of CIN,oxidative stress plays an important role in CIN,thereby several antioxidants,such as N-acetyl cysteine or Glutathione are also under study.But results are inconsistent.
As a result,the investigators designed this study to evaluate the oxidative stress in cardiovascular population on the impact of contrast medium nephropathy,and the relationship in antioxidant enzymes with genetic polymorphisms,to find clinical indicators predicting renal dysfunction and guiding individual treatment to prevent its occurrence.

Detailed Description
With the wide use of contrast agents in clinical diagnosis and treatment, contrast induced nephropathy(CIN) accounts for 1/3 of hospital acquired acute renal failure,leading to prolonged hospital stay and increased medical costs.The mortality rate of patients with CIN is up to 35%,and about 30% patients with permanent renal dysfunction.Prevention and treatment of this iatrogenic complication and reducing morbidity has become an urgent task to every medical worker.
Now the pathogenesis of CIN is not clear,while the toxicity of renal tubular epithelial cell and the hypoxia of renal medullary is likely to be the main mechanism of CIN.Iodine contrast agent concentrate in the tubular and collecting duct and directly damage cells,leading to tubular cell death;also induce the release of renal vasoconstrictors,such as adenosine, endothelin, causing acute vasoconstriction.Furthermore,oxidative stress and the inflammatory response induced by ischemia may worsen kidney function.
Thus a large number of studies focus on oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of CIN.Recently,some studies have shown that oxidative stress proteins,such as the NADPH oxidase p22 phox subunits,promote oxidase,antioxidant enzymes catalase,hypoxia inducible factor-1(HIF-1),play an important role in acute renal injury(AKI),and have reported that these proteins of different genotypes related to the incidence and prognosis of AKI,such as the NADPH oxidase subunit p22 phox (position point of +242 T replaced C).
Therefore,the investigators speculate whether some patients have genetic potential of increased oxidative stress,and are more prone to contrast induced nephropathy? At present,there are a great number of researches about preventive measures of CIN.The firstly and widely used therapy is hydration.But it just dilutes iodine contrast medium in renal tubular and collecting duct,increases urine output to prevent the formation of tubular crystals.According to the pathogenesis of CIN,oxidative stress plays an important role in CIN,thereby several antioxidants,such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or Glutathione are also under study.But results are inconsistent.
As a result,the investigators designed this prospective, randomized,controlled study to evaluate the oxidative stress in cardiovascular population on the impact of contrast medium nephropathy,and the relationship in antioxidant enzymes with genetic polymorphisms,to find clinical indicators predicting renal dysfunction and guiding individual treatment to prevent its occurrence.
