Abstract:
Gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) was injected into an anephric patient on maintenance haemodialysis. Sequential serum Gd levels before and after dialysis demonstrated incomplete removal of the administered dose. No clinical sequelae were observed. Gd-DTPA can be given to patients on dialysis, but like iodinated contrast media, may require more than one session for complete removal.
