Efficacy of pentoxifylline in prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy in angioplasty patients

Abstract: In angioplasty patients, the prophylactic oral use of PTX could be recommended for CIN prevention, although no statistically significant protective effect was documented.

“…Em relação à N-acetilcisteína, apesar de ser estudada há bastante tempo, os dados são conflitantes quanto ao seu poder de prevenção da NIC pós-coronariografia. 17 Pentoxifilina não se mostrou protetora para ocorrência de NIC em amostras de baixo risco (coronariografia eletiva), 18,19 faltando ainda dados em pacientes submetidos à coronariografia de urgência. Em metanálise recente, fenoldopam intravenoso não foi superior à salina ou N-acetilcisteína.…”

“…To prevent CIAKI, many therapeutic strategies aimed at different pathological mechanisms have been implemented; however, the role of different strategies is still controversial . Therapeutic modalities mainly include risk factor modification, hydration, diuresis, tubular alkalization, vasodilators, anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant agents, and adjustment of contrast medium volume and osmolality . Vitamin E is a lipid‐soluble vitamin with antioxidative and anti‐inflammatory properties in the form of α‐tocopherol, which has been found to be effective in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular complications and cancer .…”

“…Yet, the exact pathophysiological mechanism of CIN is not well understood. Alteration of renal hemodynamics or direct toxic effects of contrast media on tubular cells may be responsible (2). Enhanced formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in kidney following contrast media exposure may also play a central role in this pathology (5).…”
