Abstract
Comparisons of sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate for the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury have produced inconclusive results. A new study by Klima et al. shows that sodium chloride provides greater renal protection than does sodium bicarbonate following exposure to contrast medium. However, this finding should be interpreted with caution.Entities:
