N-acetylcysteine Plus Deferoxamine for Patients With Hypotension

May 27, 2015 updated by: Felipe Dal Pizzol, Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense - Unidade Academica de Ciecias da Saude

Prospective, Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study of N-acetylcysteine Plus Deferoxamine for Patients With Hypotension as Prophylaxis for Acute Renal Failure

Oxidative stress is associated with kidney damage in several different situations, including hypotension. In animal models it has been shown that the combination of n-acetylcysteine plus deferoxamine is superior to its isolate use in the treatment of several diseases. Thus the investigators aimed to determine if the administration of n-acetylcysteine plus deferoxamine could prevent renal failure in critical ill patients who develops hypotension.
