High-Dose Urography in Advanced Renal Failure: II. Influence on Renal and Hepatic Function

High-Dose Urography in Advanced Renal Failure: II. Influence on Renal and Hepatic Function FROM MEDICAL DEPARTMENT P, NEPHROLOGIC DIVISION, AND ROENTGENDIAGNOSTIC DEPARTMENT X, RIGSHOSPITALET, 2100 COPENHAGEN, DENMARK. HIGH-DOSE UROGRAPHY IN ADVANCED RENAL FAILURE II. Influence on renal and hepatic function N. MILMAN and P. STAGE A prerequisite for routine employment of high-dose urography in renal failure is reasonable atoxicity of the contrast medium, especially as regards the organs of excretion, i.e. the kidneys and liver. Reports dealing with the nephro- and hepatotoxicity of urographic contrast media in advanced renal failure and end-stage renal disease are not extensive.

Renal and hepatic parameters were recorded in with the high-dose urographies described in the previous paper, the connection material being divided into four groups according to the duration of renal disease (STAGE et coll. 1973). From this material three patients had to be ex­ cluded; two because of a pre-urographic creatinine clearance of 0.0 ml/rnin and one by reason of insufficient recording of renal function.
