    BACKGROUND: Based on a single clinical trial, it has been suggested that the contrast agent iodixanol, which is isotonic to human plasma, may be less nephrotoxic than other nonionic contrast agents in renally impaired patients after intra-arterial injection. We compared the effects on renal function of iopamidol-370 injection (796 mOsm/kg) and iodixanol-320 (290 mOsm/kg) in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (CE-MDCT) examinations using a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group design. METHODS: A total of 166 patients with stable moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (screening and baseline serum creatinine, SCr, > or =1.5 mg/dL and/or creatinine clearance, CrCl, < or =60 mL/min) who were undergoing CE-MDCT of the liver or peripheral arteries were randomized to receive equi-iodine IV doses (40 gI) of either iopamidol-370 (370 mgI/mL) or iodixanol-320 (320 mgI/mL) at 4 mL/s. SCr and CrCl were obtained at screening, baseline, and at 48-72 +/- 6 hours after dose (mean, 57.4 hours). Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) was defined as an absolute increase > or =0.5 mg/dL (44.2 micromol/L) and/or a relative increase in SCr > or =25% from baseline. RESULTS: A total of 153 patients were included in the final analysis (13 patients excluded because of lack of follow-up, hemodialysis to remove contrast, average daily CrCl variation >1% at screening). The 2 study groups were comparable with regard to age, gender distribution, the presence of diabetes, concomitant medications, hydration, and contrast dose. Mean predose SCr was 1.6 +/- 0.4 mg/dL in both groups (P = 0.9). An absolute increase > or =0.5 mg/dL (44.2 micromol/L) in SCr was observed in none of the patients receiving iopamidol-370 and in 2.6% (2/76) of patients receiving iodixanol-320 (95% confidence interval -6.2, 1.0, P = 0.2). A relative increase > or =25% in SCr occurred in 4% (3/77) of patients receiving iopamidol-370 and in 4% (3/76) of the patients receiving iodixanol-320 (95% confidence interval -6.2, 6.1, P = 1.0). CONCLUSION: The rate of CIN was similarly low in risk patients after intravenous administration of iopamidol-370 or iodixanol-320 for CE-MDCT.
