[Cholangiography and diuretics (author's transl)].
Contrast media intended for use in cholangiography are partly eliminated heterotropically via the kidneys. This can create difficulties in properly evaluating a cholangiogram. To overcome this problem, other protections are used, especially tomography (2, 3, 4, 5). This paper discusses of a third possibility, namely, whether the contrast medium in the renal calyces can be diluted by means of a diuretic, and so eliminated as a disturbing factor. The condition for this is, however, that excretion of the contrast medium via the bile ducts is not influenced in any way. This problem is investigated both experimentally and by means of a clinical study.
