Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Planned coronary angiogram or contrast-enhanced CT scan.
- High risk for contrast-associated acute kidney injury with recent creatinine or GFR test within 90 days as defined by:
- Coronary angiogram with GFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2 OR
- Coronary angiogram with GFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2 and AKI risk of 7% or higher by BMC2 risk model OR
- Contrast-enhanced CT scan with GFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2.
- Women of childbearing potential agree to use highly effective contraception from screening through study participation.
- Ability to take oral medication and willing to follow study treatment.
- Ability to understand and agree to informed consent.
You will not qualify if you...
- Acute kidney injury already present before contrast exposure by KDIGO criteria.
- Primary reason for procedure is PCI including acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
- End-stage kidney disease on dialysis.
- Received intravenous or intraarterial contrast within 5 days before planned procedure.
- Cardiac arrest within 14 days before procedure.
- Low blood pressure (systolic less than 100 mmHg or diastolic less than 60 mmHg) or currently on inotropes or vasopressors.
- Allergy to study drug components including sodium nitrate, inorganic nitrate, beet root juice, or lactose (excluding lactose intolerance).
- Pregnant or nursing women.
- Participation in another investigational trial within 30 days prior to enrollment.
- Use of tadalafil within 48 hours, sildenafil or vardenafil within 24 hours, or avanafil within 12 hours before starting study medication. Continuous use of these medications excludes participation; intermittent users must withhold use during treatment and 48 hours after last dose.
