Description
Squeezing a limb in cycles before heart catheterization shields the kidneys from contrast dye, Yanmin Wu and colleagues show in a 2026 randomized trial. Four hundred eighty-four coronary patients were assigned to remote ischemic preconditioning, brief cuff ischemia repeated over two days and again before the procedure, or to usual care. Kidney injury within the following week was the primary endpoint.
Injury struck 6.2 percent of the preconditioned group against 12.0 percent of controls, and the maneuver stood as an independent protective factor in adjusted analysis. Heart events over ninety days did not differ. The authors offer the cheap, drug-free routine as practical protection for patients facing contrast procedures.
