A double-blind comparison of iopromide and iopamidol in intravenous urography.
A randomised double-blind comparative study was performed to assess the imaging properties and side-effects of two non-ionic contrast media, iopromide and iopamidol, in intravenous urography in high risk patients. The results showed the two contrast media to be similar in their imaging efficacy and incidence of side-effects. Using 50 or 100 ml of iopromide or iopamidol (370 mgI/ml), the quality of nephrograms was found to be dose dependent but the quality of pyelograms was not dose dependent.
