Study Summary

This trial will compare two different treatments for contrast induced nephropathy, a common kidney complication from certain medical procedures. One group will receive saline and the other sodium bicarbonate.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Stage III Chronic Kidney Disease who are scheduled for a CT scan using contrast at Norton Community Hospital. It's not for pregnant individuals, those with recent heart issues or uncontrolled hypertension, patients on dialysis, or anyone who has had certain treatments like pressor agents or exposure to contrast dye within the last 48 hours.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two methods to prevent kidney damage from contrast dye used in CT scans. Group A receives normal saline solution before and after the scan; Group B gets a sodium bicarbonate solution following similar timing. The main goal is to see which treatment better prevents an increase in serum creatinine levels.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include changes in urinary pH and volume overload, which can be indicated by altered vital signs such as blood pressure and oxygen saturation. Close monitoring will occur to manage these risks.
