title: [Intravenous urography with a nonionic low osmolality contrast medium (iopamidol) in elderly patients].
abstract: Intravenous urography was carried out with a nonionic low osmolality contrast medium, iopamidol (Iopamiron 300) in 30 elderly patients (aged 65 to 86; with the mean age of 75 +/- 6), and the safety for the aged and radiopacity were evaluated. Although no purgative was given and water was not restricted in consideration of dehydration and bad influence on renal function, the total urinary system was well visualized. Side-effect was observed in none of 30 patients. This method seems to be useful for patients with a risk of dehydration and elderly patients.
