A Case series on Utilization of N-Acetylcysteine for Acute Kidney Injury in patients with Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

N-Acetylcysteine is commonly used for paracetamol overdose. It has also been used for acute kidney injury and slowing the progression of CKD. Here we portray three cases that use N-Acetylcysteine in IV and Oral forms for treatment of the Acute kidney injury in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The case series focuses on the need for guidelines to be implemented for the use of IV N-Acetylcysteine in these patients.
