| Abstract: | Background: Computed tomographic angiography of the lower limbs is carried out with a fast bolus
injection of iodinated contrast medium. 100-150mls of iso-osmolar contrast medium at
a rate of 4mls per second are injected via a peripheral vein, using a bolus tracking
technique. Apart from allergic reactions, the contrast used is known to have potential
adverse renal effects. These vary in severity and include a benign transient rise in
creatinine, contrast induced nephropathy and lactic acidosis. Aim: To assess the incidence of renal adverse effects in patients undergoing peripheral CT angiography (CTA). |
