Incidence of Lactic Acidosis After Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty in Diabetic Patients on Continued Metformin Therapy With Normal Renal Function.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Metformin for Diabetes Mellitus and Lactic Acidosis. Completed, enrolled 166 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether metformin causes lactic acidosis in diabetic patients with preserved kidney function, undergoing coronary angiography or angioplasty with new contrast media. In other words is it necessary to discontinue metformin before these procedures, even when Iodixanol is used as contrast media, which is isosmolar agent and much more safer than urografin which was the main agent in the previous studies that were the base of present guidelines?
