Patients with ARM should undergo a detailed general physical, systemic and radiological examination (infanto-gram, echocardiography, US of urogenital system) in neonatal period to detect associated anomalies in early period.
Objectives: To study the diagnostic efficacy of low-dose iohexol (90 mg iodine/kg body weight) for intravenous urography. Materials and Methods: Intravenous urography was performed using low-dose iohexol in 50 patients with various urinary complaints. Patients with elevated blood urea and serum creatinine levels were excluded. The urographic films were evaluated with regard to diagnostic information about renal parenchyma, calyces, collecting system and overall image. Patients were also observed for adverse reactions. Results: A satisfactory diagnosis could be reached in 94% of patients with low-dose iohexol. Only a minor reaction in the form of heat sensation was noted in 1 patient, which did not require any treatment. Conclusion: Iohexol is safe and very useful diagnostically in a low dose for routine intravenous urography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
