Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI- AKI) increases the likelihood of patient morbidity and mortality following coronary procedures. Volume supplement with saline is the standard treatment to prevent CI-AKI. Additional antioxidant prophylaxis has often yielded conflicting results. The present study was conducted to examine the role of novel application vitamin E (tocopherol) in preventing CI-AKI.
