Side 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 کاملSide Effects of Radiographic Contrast Media: Pathogenesis, Risk Factors, and Prevention
Radiocontrast media (RCM) are medical drugs used to improve the visibility of internal organs and structures in X-ray based imaging techniques. They may have side effects ranging from itching to a life-threatening emergency, known as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). We define CIN as acute renal failure occurring within 24-72 hrs of exposure to RCM that cannot be attributed to other causes. I...
متن کاملEffect of radiographic contrast media on renal perfusion - First results.
BACKGROUND Intra-arterial administration of radiographic contrast media (CM) is discussed to impair renal perfusion. The pathogenesis of contrast-induced Nephropathy (CIN) is still not clarified. OBJECTIVE This trial was performed to prove the effects of two CM with different molecular structure on renal perfusion. METHODS A prospective, randomized study on 16 pigs was designed to compare t...
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 کاملIntravascular radiographic contrast media: issues for family physicians.
BACKGROUND Family physicians frequently order and in some instances supervise diagnostic tests using intravascular radiographic contrast media. METHODS MEDLINE database was searched from 1966 to the present using the key terms "contrast media," "adverse reaction," "anaphylaxis," "anaphylactoid," "nephropathy," "renal failure," "kidney failure," and "MRI" in combinations. Other sources were fo...
