Before your scan

Contrast dye? 5 things kidney patients should say before the scan

CT scans and cardiac catheterisation may use contrast — if your kidneys are weak, speak up before the test.

  1. 1Iodinated contrast (CT, cardiac cath, angiography) can cause acute kidney injury; the lower the eGFR the higher the risk, and eGFR <30 is the main risk factor.
  2. 2Tell them first: "I have chronic kidney disease, my eGFR is __", and bring your latest blood results; the doctor will weigh whether the test is necessary or another test can be used.
  3. 3Prevention (KDIGO): IV fluids before and after, the lowest necessary dose, and no NSAIDs or other kidney-toxic drugs around the time of the scan.
  4. 4On metformin? Whether to pause and when to restart depends on kidney function and the type of exam — ask beforehand; don't stop or continue on your own.
  5. 5Gadolinium for MRI: at eGFR <30 some older (group I) agents carry a risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis; the group II agents now commonly used carry very low risk. If urine output falls or you swell or get breathless in the days after, go back.
