Immunologic basis for adverse reactions to radiographic contrast media.
The lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) was used to elucidate whether certain side effects induced by radiographic contrast media have an immunologic etiology. Groups studied were: 8 patients who had previously experienced adverse reactions in association with urography, 6 patients who underwent urography without notable side reactions, 17 occupationally exposed nurses, and 9 unexposed control...
متن کاملAllergic Immediate Hypersensitivity to Iodinated Contrast Media
Background: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHR) to iodinated contrast media (ICM) have traditionally been considered nonallergic; however, the increasingly frequent reporting of positive skin test and basophil activation test results suggests a specifi c allergic mechanism in some patients. Skin tests have been proposed as a useful tool for diagnosis, although their sensitivity and predi...
متن کاملAcute reactions to urographic contrast media.
A prospective study of 3509 consecutive patients examined by excretion urography has been conducted to assess the incidence and significance of the untoward effects of urographic contrast media. Four compounds were used in doses containing 160 to 500 mg iodine/kg body weight. Toxic effects, arm pain, and allegic reactions were assessed separately, while the remainder were classified according t...
متن کاملSide Effects of Radiographic Contrast Media
Radiographic contrast agents have been in use for over 60 years to improve the visibility of internal organs and structures in X-ray based imaging techniques such as radiography, angiography, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans and to perform cardiac catheterizations and percu-taneous coronary interventions. Their use for imaging and intravascular intervention keeps increasing parti...
متن کاملProximal tubule cell response to radiographic contrast media.
Renal dysfunction associated with contrast media (CM) administration is generally attributed to reduced renal blood flow. Studies, however, also suggest direct tubular effects of CM, whose mechanisms remain unclear. This study was conducted to assess the chemotoxic effects of iopamidol, a prototypic CM, on a porcine proximal tubule (PT) cell line, LLC-PK(1) cells. Results indicate that iopamido...
