Summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects on kidney function of
two contrast media, the iso-osmolar iodixanol and the low-osmolar iopamidol in patients at
risk of kidney damage associated with the injection of contrast media. A standard hydration
procedure, based on available guidelines will be given to all patients to prevent negative
effects on the kidneys. Serum creatinine (SCr ) concentrations will be measured before and up
to 7 days after contrast media administration to evaluate the effects on renal function.
