[Evaluation of hepatic and renal function after visceral angiography (author's transl)].
A prospective study was carried out in 25 patients following visceral angiography using, on average, 3.5 (2.3 to 4.3) ml/kg. of sodium methyl glucamine diatrizoate 76%. No significant changes were found in the liver enzymes (SGTP, LDH and alkaline phosphatase). On the other hand, there was a significant but temporary rise of serum creatinine from 0.9 +/- 0.2 mg% to 1.2 +/- 0.3 mg% as well as transient proteinuria (7 cases) and microhaematuria (6 cases). With the usual contrast doses for visceral angiography, the kidney appears to be the critical organ. In order to reduce the risks of renal complications, contrast doses should be kept to below 4 ml/kg. if possible; angiography should be carried out only if the patient is well hydrated and the indications for angiography should be particularly stringent if there is previous renal damage.
