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 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.
This trial tests a personalized way to calculate contrast dye for CT scans, based on your sex and body measurements. It may improve safety and image quality.
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 1-hour premedication plan can safely prevent allergic reactions to CT dye in adults who need an emergency scan. It may help you get faster, safer care if you have a known contrast allergy and are in a life-threatening situation.
