Contrast-induced nephropathy has become a significant source of hospital morbidity and mortality with the ever-increasing use of iodinated contrast media in diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures such as angiography in high-risk patients.
Question: If a patient is allergic to IV contrast dye, is there something else that is used as a substitute? Thanks! I work OR, not cath lab, but if we need contrast, we give it. There are two different versions we have, and for those allergic we use the one for renal patients. It has a lower concentration, and there are times we dilute it further with saline. They are premedicated with diphenhydramine and steroids.
