Evaluation of Curcumin (Turmeric Extract) Effect on Prevention of CIN in Patient Under Elective Coronary Angiography, a Randomized Double Blind Placebocontrolled Clinical Trial.

CONCLUSION: It was found that although curcumin reduced the incidence of CIN, this difference was not statistically significant. It seems that, like other antioxidant substances studied in previous studies, although curcumin can reduce apoptosis and oxidative stress at cellular level, but in high risk patients for CIN, such as patients with renal insufficiency, it does not produce more protective effects than hydration with normal saline.
