Summary
Radio Contrast Induced Nephropathy (RCIN) remains a well recognized complication in patients
undergoing diagnostic or interventional procedures requiring radiographic contrast agents.
Recent studies have shown benefit in administering Sodium Bicarbonate over normal saline( the
uniformly accepted prophylaxy) in preventing RCIN.Therefore the aim of the study is to
evaluate the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate solved in normal saline compared with infusion of
normal saline in prevention of RCIN.
