Brief Summary

The urine flow rate (UFR)-guided and the left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP)-guided hydration regimens have been proposed to prevent contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). The REnal Insufficiency Following Contrast MEDIA Administration TriaL III (REMEDIAL III) trial is a randomized, multicenter, investigator-sponsored trial aiming to compare these 2 hydration strategies in high risk patients. Patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate \<45 ml/min/1.73 m2 and/or a high risk for CI-AKI (as defined according to both Mehran's score ≥11 and/or Gurm's score \>7) will be enrolled. Patients will be divided in high (\>12 mm Hg) and normal LVEDP, non-invasively estimated by transmitral flow velocity to annular velocity ratio (E/E' index). Patients in each group will be randomly assigned to 1) LVEDP-guided hydration with normal saline (LVEDP-guided group). The fluid infusion rate will be adjusted according to the LVEDP as follows: 5 mL/kg/hr for LVEDP \<12 mmHg; 3 mL/kg/hr for 13-18 mmHg; and 1.5 mL/kg/hr for \>18 mmHg. 2) UFR-rate guided hydration (RenalGuard group). In this group, hydration with normal saline plus low-dose of furosemide is controlled by the RenalGuard system, in order to reach and maintain a high (\>300 mL/h) UFR. In all cases iobitridol (an low-osmolar, non ionic contrast agent) will be administered. The primary endpoint is the composite of CI-AKI (i.e., serum creatinine increase ≥ 25% and ≥ 0.5 mg/dl from the baseline value at 48 hours after contrast media exposure) and/or acute pulmonary edema.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Composite of 1) development of CI-AKI, and/or acute pulmonary edema.

    The primary outcome measure is composite of 1) development of CI-AKI, and/or acute pulmonary edema. CI-AKI is defined as an increase in the serum creatinine concentration \>=25% and \>=0.5 mg/dl from the baseline value at 48 hours after administration of the contrast media or the need for dialysis

    within 48 hours after contrast media exposure

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Creatinine change

    48 hours

  • Cystatin C change

    48 hours

  • Dialysis rate

    5 days

  • Major adverse event rate

    12 months

  • Length of in-hospital stay (LOS)

    30 days

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

LVEDP-guided group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients allocated to the LVEDP-guided group will continue to receive intravenous 0.9% sodium chloride, according to the protocol suggested in the POSEIDON trial (that is, 5 mL/kg/hr for LVEDP ≤12 mmHg; 3 mL/kg/hr for 13-18 mmHg; and 1.5 mL/kg/h for \>18 mmHg). The fluid rate will be eventually modified at the start of the procedure in case of discordance between non-invasive and invasive LVEDP pressure estimate, being the invasive value considered as gold-standard. The fluid rate will continued during the procedure, and for 4 hours post-procedure.

Renalguard group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients enrolled in this group will be treated by hydration with 0.9% saline controlled by the RenalGuard system. On top of the 1.5-5.0 ml/kg/h that patients would have received over the previous hour (according to the non-invasive estimate LVEDP), an initial bolus of 250 ml will be administered. In case of LV ejection fraction ≤30% and/or LVEDP \>18 mm Hg the bolus will 150 mL. Therefore, furosemide (0.25 mg/kg) will be administered in order to achieve the optimal urine flow rate (≥300 mL/h). The controlled hydration by the RenalGuard system will be continued during the procedure and for 4 hours following the procedure. Urine flow rate is monitored and maintained at the target value through the procedure and during the following 4 hours. Additional furosemide doses are allowed in case of decrease of the urine flow rate below the target value.

Device: RenalGuard system™® (PLC Medical Systems, Inc. Franklin, MA, USA)

Interventions

Patients in the RenalGuard group will be treated by hydration with normal saline controlled by the RenalGuard system™® (PLC Medical Systems, Inc. Franklin, MA, USA). The RenalGuard system includes a) a closed loop fluid management system; b) a high volume fluid pump, c) a high accuracy dual weight measuring system; d) motion detection artifact reduction; e) a single use intravenous set and urine collection system that interfaces with a standard Foley catheter; f) real-time display of urine and replacement fluid volume; g) a timely alerts to drain the urine bag or to replace the hydration fluid bag; f) and safety features such as automatic air and occlusion detection.
