Target number of participants 76
Interventions The researcher performs the sham preconditioning or ischemic preconditioning procedure.

RIPC will be applied by 4 cycles of 5 minutes inflation and 5 minutes deflation of a standard blood pressure cuff around the upper arm at a pressure of the actual systolic blood pressure plus 50 mmHg.

Sham preconditioning will be applied in a similar fashion as the RIPC stimulus, but the blood pressure cuff is inflated to the actual diastolic blood pressure minus 10mmHg.
Primary outcome measure(s) Change in serum creatinine levels from baseline (day prior to contrast administration) to 48 hours after contrast administration
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. Change in biomarkers (for kidney injury) levels in blood and urine from baseline to 24 and/or 48 hours after contrast administration.
2. Incidence of CIN (>25% rise in serum creatinine)
3. Death, rehospitalization and/or hemodialysis within 6 weeks after contrast-administration
