Activation systems in contrast idiosyncrasy

E C Lasser, J H Hang, A E Hamblin

    Investigative Radiology
    |November 1, 1980

    Summary

    The C1 esterase inhibitor may control systemic reactions to contrast media. Its depletion can increase susceptibility to adverse effects from contrast agents.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Contrast media can trigger systemic reactions.
    • The C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) is a key regulator of several biological systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of C1 esterase inhibitor in contrast media reactions.
    • To understand the mechanisms underlying contrast media-induced adverse events.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of animal and human data.
    • Analysis of the inhibitory functions of C1 esterase inhibitor.
    • Examination of the interplay between C1-INH and complement, coagulation, kinin, and fibrinolytic systems.

    Main Results:

    • C1 esterase inhibitor significantly inhibits C1, kallikrein, factor XII, and plasmin.
    • Activation of complement, coagulation, kinin, or fibrinolytic systems can deplete C1 esterase inhibitor.
    • Partial consumption of C1 esterase inhibitor may predispose individuals to contrast media reactions.

    Conclusions:

    • C1 esterase inhibitor likely plays a crucial role in preventing contrast media systemic reactions.
    • Understanding C1-INH function is vital for managing and preventing adverse events associated with contrast agents.
