Administration of NAC, however, is inexpensive and associated with little or no side effects. While this favors use of NAC, it does not obviate the necessity of the other protective strategies described above. Additional trials with other NAC dosing strategies – acute intravenous administration [13], double-dose oral administration [14] – have suggested an enhanced effect, but these strategies need further validation. Conclusion As the number of contrast-enhanced CT procedures increase and the target patient population has an increasing prevalence of comorbidities, the number of adverse renal effects will likely increase.
