Summary

The general objective of this open, pilot study is to characterize biological parameters related to acute kidney injury among patients undergoing a programmed coronarography with injection of contrast material. The study focuses on two main factors that may influence acute kidney injury: (1) sodium chloride hydration strategy versus sodium bicarbonate hydration strategy and (2) presence of oral L-carnitine treatment versus absence of oral L-carnitine treatment. We will also test for a potential interaction between these two factors.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Hydration strategy using saline

For 12 hours preceding the coronarography, and for 12 following the coronarography, 0.9% sodium chloride at 1 ml/kg/h is administered via a slow intravenous perfusion.

DRUG

Hydration strategy using sodium bicarbonate

For 4-6 hours before the coronarography and for 4-6 hours after the coronarography, 500 ml of isotonic sodium bicarbonate solution (1.4%) will be administered via a slow intravenous solution.

DRUG

L-carnitine

Before the coronarography (D-1), 1 gram of L-carnitine is administered via an oral solution that can be diluted in a small amount of sugar water if necessary. This administration corresponds to the beginning of a hydration protocol. For days 0 to 7 after the coronarography, patients are administered an oral L-carnitine solution (3 grams of L-carnitine per day). The latter may be diluted in a small amount of sugar water if needed.

PROCEDURE

Coronarography

All patients included in this study are programmed for a coronarography with injection of contrast material (either iodixanol or ioxaglate). The day of coronarography = Day 0.
