Renal cystography: unusual complication

B P Shumaker, J M Pierce

    The Journal of Urology
    |February 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Renal cyst aspiration with contrast material can cause sterile abscesses. Calculating cyst volume and contrast amount prevents complications during these procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Radiology
    • Interventional Procedures

    Background:

    • Renal cyst aspiration is a common diagnostic and therapeutic procedure.
    • Contrast material is often instilled to evaluate cyst characteristics.
    • Complications, though rare, can occur during or after the procedure.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed pain, flank mass, and fever after renal cyst aspiration and contrast instillation.
    • The patient required surgical exploration and drainage of a sterile abscess.
    • Undiluted, hyperosmotic contrast material was suspected as the cause.

    Findings:

    • The complication was attributed to the use of undiluted, hyperosmotic contrast material.
    • A method for calculating renal cyst volume and appropriate contrast volume was developed.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • This calculation aims to prevent adverse events related to contrast instillation.

    • Implications:

    • Proper calculation of contrast volume is crucial to avoid complications like sterile abscess formation.
    • This technique can enhance patient safety during renal cyst aspiration procedures.
    • Standardizing contrast administration may reduce the incidence of iatrogenic complications.
