Scientific title
Study acronymNAC as a Nephroprotective agent in Peripheral Angiography
Study objectivesTo investigate the role of N-acetylcysteine as a nephroprotective agent in patients undergoing peripheral angiography.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Cambridge Research Ethics Committee on the 24th November 2006 (ref: 06/QI0108/352).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedContrast induced nephropathy
InterventionTreatment group:
Patients will be given 600 mg twice daily N-acetylcysteine the day before the angiogram, and 600 mg twice on the day of the angiogram with intravenous fluids. Samples of urine and blood will be collected before the angiogram and first, second and third day post angiography.

Control group:
Patients will only get intravenous hydration as per normal protocol and will have samples taken like the treatment arm patients.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)N-acetylcysteine
Primary outcome measurePrimarily we are looking for a reduction in the elevation in Albumin/Creatinine ratio and also of other markers of renal damage in urine (retinol binding protein), using the samples collected before the angiogram and first, second and third day post angiography.
Secondary outcome measuresA reduction in the mortality and morbidity related to renal failure that may result secondary to contrast solution used in angiography; this 30-day mortality morbidity reduction will be measured on follow up in clinic normally four to six weeks post angiography.
