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.
