N-Acetylcysteine Attenuates Iodine Contrast Agent-Induced Nephropathy in 5/6-Nephrectomized Rats
Original language description
Aims: In the present study we tested the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to minimize nephrotoxic effects of iodine contrast agents in intact rats as well as in 5/6-nephrectomized (5/6-Nx) rats. Methods: Rats were allocated to a group of intact rats (n= 42) and a group of 5/6-Nx rats (n = 42). After 1 month of recovery from surgery, 5/6-Nx rats and intact (sham-operated) animals received either 6 ml/kg body weight (b.w.) meglumine ioxithalamate (Telebrix 350) or 6 ml/kg b.w. iohexol (Omnipaque 350) intravenously with or without pretreatment with 100 mg/kg b.w. NAC. Plasma and urinary concentrations of creatinine, sodium and protein in 24-hour urine collections were determined prior to and on days 1, 3 and 7 after drug administration. Results: In intact animals, contrast agents caused no significant changes in kidney function throughout the duration of the experiment.
