Metrizamide (Amipaque), a non-ionic contrast medium, proved safe for high-dose urography in patients with normal kidney function. This study found only minor side effects, recommending its continued use in diagnostic imaging.

Area of Science:

Radiology
Medical Imaging
Urology

Background:

Metrizamide (Amipaque) is a non-ionic, water-soluble contrast medium.
Urography is a key diagnostic imaging technique for the urinary tract.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of high-dose metrizamide (Amipaque) for urography.
To assess adverse reactions and physiological effects in patients with normal renal function.

Main Methods:

11 patients with normal renal function underwent high-dose urography using metrizamide (Amipaque).
Quality of imaging films was assessed.
Adverse reactions, pulse, blood pressure, and laboratory parameters (blood and urine) were monitored.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Good quality films were consistently obtained.
Only clinically insignificant adverse reactions were observed.
No significant adverse effects on pulse, blood pressure, or laboratory parameters were noted.

Conclusions:

High-dose metrizamide (Amipaque) is a safe and effective contrast medium for urography in patients with normal renal function.
The medium is well-tolerated with minimal side effects.
Recommended for further clinical use in urography.
