An Old Idea with a Modern Twist: Preventing Contrast-Induced Nephropathy with Induced Diuresis and Matched Replacement CIN Remains a Problem Caused by a combination of factors: - Ischemia/hypoxia, viscosity/clogging, direct cellular toxicity/ apoptosis Risks increasing: -Seeing sicker patients (CKD ↑, Diabetes ↑) - Dye loads increasing (CTO, TAVI, etc) Outcomes for patients who develop CIN remain poor: - Increases mortality - Worsens cardiac outcomes - Speeds progression of chronic kidney disease Induced Diuresis to Prevent CIN Theory: Inducing diuresis flushes contrast out of the kidney, reducing concentration, preventing clogging and hypoxia. Results: Induced diuresis alone found to be worse than control. What happened? All patients who received induced diuresis lost fluid relative to control patients. PRINCE Study 1 found matching hourly urine output could reduce CIN rate 50% in patients who achieved 150 ml/hr urine output, but most patients did not achieve that urine rate. Guidelines now encourage 150 ml/hr urine output, but provide no predictable guidance for achieving that rate. RenalGuard ® enables the benefits of high urine flows while preventing the negative effects of dehydration. RenalGuard Therapy ® : Provides automated matched fluid replacement in real-time, reducing risk of over- or under-hydration Creates and maintains high urine output Prevents contrast agents from clogging tubules Limits toxin exposure in kidneys Fits into normal cath lab flow: begins 1 hr before catheterization, continues during procedure and for 4 hours afterwards.

Average eGFR 39.1 +/- 9.3. All patients reached the 300 ml/hr urine rate shown to reduce incidence of CIN. The rapid increase and wide variation in urine rates demonstrates need for the automated matched replacement RenalGuard provides. 118 474 684 638 523 450 390 348 324 353 314 111 407 742 601 562 437 377 325 310 411 312 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 0:30 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00 9:00 10:00 ml/hr Time since RenalGuard Therapy Started (h:mm) Urine Rate Infusion Rate Investigators treated 100 consecutive patients with sodium bicarbonate (32 pts), CVVH (35 pts) and RenalGuard Therapy (33 pts).
