The nephroprotective properties of a combination of taurine with zinc diaspartate (taucin) in rats with contrast-induced nephropathy have been estimated. It is established that the combination of taurine with zinc diaspartate (20 and 1 g/mol, respectively, ingested in doses 250 and 500 mg/kg in the stomach during 14 days) produces a dose-dependent nephroprotective action on rats with contrast-induced (sodium and meglumin amidotrizoates, 800 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally, 14 days) nephropathy.
