IV versus drink fluids to protect kidneys after CT scan
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares giving fluids through a vein versus drinking fluids to lower the risk of sudden kidney injury after a CT scan with contrast dye. It focuses on adults with very poor kidney function who are scheduled for an elective CT scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- Your kidney function is very low (eGFR under 30)
- You have an elective CT scan with contrast dye planned
- You can read and understand the study information and provide consent
- You are not allergic to iodine (contrast dye-related allergy)

This trial compares drinking fluids by mouth versus receiving fluids through an IV to prevent kidney injury from CT contrast dye. It may be a good option if you have mild to moderate kidney disease and need a contrast CT while in the emergency department.
This trial tests if drinking beetroot juice can help protect your kidneys from damage caused by the dye used during heart procedures. It is for people hospitalized with a certain type of heart attack who are at moderate to high risk of kidney problems.
This study compares two types of CT scans—using IV contrast dye versus not using dye—in people who need an emergency abdominal scan but have reduced kidney function. It aims to see which approach is safer and works well enough to help doctors find the cause.
This study looks at how contrast dye used in imaging tests (like CT scans) can sometimes affect the kidneys. Researchers want to track patients at Sohag University Hospitals to better understand and prevent kidney injury after receiving contrast.
This trial tests whether a simple inorganic nitrate pill can protect your kidneys from damage caused by contrast dye used in heart catheterization or CT scans. It is for people whose kidneys are already somewhat weak, making them at higher risk for this type of injury.
This study tests whether a specific water-based medication can prevent kidney damage when patients with acute heart failure need a CT scan with contrast dye. The trial focuses on people with mild-to-moderate kidney problems who are hospitalized for fluid buildup in the heart.
