Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of alpha tocopherol for prevention contrast-induced nephropathy in CKD patients undergoing elective coronary procedures.
Detailed Description:
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) increases the likelihood of patient morbidity and mortality following coronary procedures. Contrast agents cause an acute deterioration in renal function via the generation of reactive oxygen species. Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol)was demonstrated to be anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation. The present study was designed to evaluate the administration of antioxidant vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) as a means of preventing CIN in these patients.
