Oral versus intravenous hydration and renal function in diabetic patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions.
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious complication of percutenous coronary interventions (PCI). Proper hydration reduces the risk of PCI. Wheter oral hydration is as effective as intravenous one has not been well established. ⋯ Our study demonstrates that the oral hydration with mineral water and intravenous hydration with 0.9% NaCl have similar effects on renal function in diabetic patients undergoing coronary angiography and angioplasty.
