RenalGuard, a new physiologic therapy that washes contrast through the kidney rapidly, was superior to sodium bicarbonate and Nacetylcysteine (NAC) in preventing contrast-induced acute kidney injury in high-risk patients. These results came from the randomized, multicenter, investigator-driven Renal Insuffi ciency After Contrast Media Administration Trial II (REMEDIAL II), which was conducted in Italy and published online before print by Circulation. “The results of the REMEDIAL II trial support the concept that the most important strategy to prevent contrastinduced acute kidney injury is an optimal increase in the urine fl ow rate without inducing fl uid imbalance,” said lead author Carlo Briguori, MD, PhD, Chief of the Laboratory of Interventional Cardiology at Clinica Mediterranea (Mediterranean Clinic) in Naples, Italy, in an interview. “This effect is reached by the RenalGuard system in almost all patients. By contrast, it is hardly reached by standard hydration.” In REMEDIAL II, which was carried out at four interventional cardiology centers in Italy between January 2009 and December 2010, 294 patients were randomized to receive sodium bicarbonate solution plus NAC at a high dose (the control group), or hydration with saline and NAC at a high dose plus a low dose of furosemide controlled by the RenalGuard system. Two patients, one from each group, did not undergo scheduled treatment, leaving 146 patients in each group for the fi nal analysis.

As Hurricane Irene headed for the East Coast of the United States, the dialysis community was prepared for the worst. These efforts, coupled with changes in storm strength and the weekend timing of landfall, largely had their desired effect, with most units from North Carolina to Maine up, running, and dialyzing patients the day after the storm. “Irene was a large, powerful storm that impacted millions of people along the Eastern Seaboard, many of whom had never experienced the direct effects of a hurricane,” wrote Seth Holloway, MPH, CPH, Emergency Management Specialist for the Kidney Community Emergency Response (KCER) Coalition, in an e-mail message. “The kidney community, through preparation, collaboration, and coordinated response, greatly diminished the storm’s potential impacts to the dialysis and transplant populations, undoubtedly saving many lives.” Marathon and a Sprint The KCER Coalition, which was formed in January 2006, includes representatives of kidney patient and professional organizations, clinicians, dialysis facilities, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Networks, state emergency and survey representatives, and federal agencies. It facilitates timely and effi cient disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for the kidney community. Hurricane Irene: Coordinated Response Prevents Dialysis Disruption
