Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSurgery: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair
InterventionParticipation offered to all patients undergoing endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in the Cambridge Vascular Unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital. Consenting patients will be randomised to receive either intra venous saline hydration (current practice) or intravenous saline hydration and oral N acetyl-cysteine (600 mg twice a day (bd) orally (PO) on the day before the procedure; and 600 mg bd PO on the day of the procedure, one dose before, and one dose after the procedure). Evidence of renal injury will be monitored post-procedure by assay of serum creatinine levels, and also by measuring urinary low molecular weight proteins such as N acetyl beta glucosaminidase (NAG) a subclinical marker of renal injury, and albumin and creatinine.
