Are There Protective Effects of Antioxidants, Calcium Channel Blocker and Angiotensin Receptor Blocker Against Extracorporeal Shockwaves Lithotripsy Induced Renal Injury? (SWL)

October 8, 2014 updated by: Ahmed R. EL-Nahas, Mansoura University

A Randomized Controlled Trial for Evaluating Protective Effects of Antioxidants (Selenium and Vitamins A, C and E), Calcium Channel Blocker (Verapamil) and Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (Losartan) Against Extracorporeal Shockwaves Lithotripsy Induced Renal Injury

This study will be conducted to evaluate the protective effects and mechanisms of antioxidants (vitamins A, C, E and Selenium), calcium channel blocker (Verapamil) and angiotensin receptor blocker (Lozartan) against shock wave induced renal injuries.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

The protective effect will be evaluated via estimation of the changes in renal tubular enzyme (NGAL) and detection of albumen levels in urine. The mechanisms of protection will be investigated by estimation of renal perfusion and functional changes using dynamic MRI.
