Acute 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 کاملIodinated contrast media and their adverse reactions.
Cross-use of technology between nuclear medicine and radiology technologists is expanding.

متن کاملImmunologic 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 کاملManagement of hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast media.
All iodinated contrast media (CM) are known to cause both immediate ( £ 1 h) and nonimmediate (>1 h) hypersensitivity reactions. Although for most immediate reactions an allergic hypersensitivity cannot be demonstrated, recent studies indicate that the severe immediate reactions may be IgE-mediated, while most of the nonimmediate exanthematous skin reactions, appear to be T-cell mediated. Patie...
