Synergistic effect of intravenous immunoglobulins and iodinated contrast media on renal function.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute renal failure is one of the side effects while using intravenous immunoglobulins. This complication is also observed with iodinated contrast media. Herein, we describe a patient with acute renal failure who received intravenous immunoglobulins and iodinated contrast media concomitantly. Both drugs are responsible for osmotic nephrosis. The same effect on renal cells may explain a synergistic effect on renal function.

Contrast Induced Nephropathy and Diagnostic Ct
Contrast media induced nephropathy (CIN) leading to acute renal failure is a rare event associated with iodinated contrast agents. Several studies published recently in Radiology (1-3) suggest the risk of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) following intravenous iodinated contrast administration is much lower than previously believed. In this article we provide an update on recent revisions to o...
متن کاملContrast Induced Nephropathy After Brain and Cervical CT Angiography in Stroke Patients: A Prospective Study
Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a major side effect of intravenous iodinated contrast and causes both short- and long-term adverse effects. While diagnostic and interventional procedures of brain ischemia are recently advanced, it is necessary to be cautious about its major side effect. Objectives: To evaluate CIN and its risk factors in neurology patients after brain and cer...

Background. Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is common cause of hospital acquired renal failure, defined as iatrogenic deterioration of renal function following intravascular contrast administration in the absence of another nephrotoxic event.

متن کاملThe molecular mechanism of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and its link to in vitro studies on iodinated contrast media (CM)
Iodinated contrast media (iodinated CM) have increased ability to absorb x-rays and to visualize structures that normally are impossible to observe in a radiological examination. The use of iodinated CM may destory renal function, commonly known as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which can result in acute renal failure (ARF). This review article mainly focuses on the following areas: (1) cl...
متن کاملThyroid function in very low birthweight infants after intravenous administration of the iodinated contrast medium iopromide.
BACKGROUND Thyroid function disorders have often been observed in preterm infants after intravenous administration of iodinated contrast medium. The effect on thyroid function depends on the dosage, but the choice of the contrast medium may be equally important, as there are appreciable pharmacological differences between them. METHOD Thyroid function was analysed in 20 very low birthweight i...
