Contrast Dye and Kidney Health Study
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have had a single injection of contrast dye into a vein.
- You cannot have end-stage kidney disease or be on dialysis.
- You cannot have severe heart failure or cardiogenic shock.
- You cannot have a known allergy to contrast dye or have had contrast in the last 24–48 hours.
- You cannot be pregnant, nursing, or have active cancer or severe liver disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if a simple blood test (cystatin) can detect kidney damage earlier in people with chronic kidney disease who receive contrast dye for imaging. It could help doctors act faster to protect kidneys.
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 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 trial studies whether a device called Dye-Vert Plus can lower the risk of kidney injury from contrast dye during heart catheter procedures (CAG and/or PCI). It focuses on people at higher kidney risk, especially those with diabetes or high blood pressure.
This trial tests whether using a much smaller amount of contrast dye for an invasive heart scan is safer for people with acute kidney injury (AKI). It may help reduce further kidney stress while still allowing doctors to look at coronary (heart) arteries.
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.
