[A study of iopamidol (Iopamiron 370) in intravenous urography in the patients with previous adverse reactions to contrast media and history of allergy].
Iopamidol (Iopamiron 370) was examined for use in intravenous urography in 37 patients who previously developed adverse reactions to conventional ionic contrast media or had a history of allergy. The patients were divided into three groups (group A1:22 patients with previous adverse reactions to contrast media, but without history of allergy, group A2:8 patients with previous adverse reactions to contrast media and with history of allergy, group B:7 patients with a history of allergy, but without experience of using contrast media. Adverse reactions to iopamidol were observed in 6 patients (one in group A1, four in group A2, one in group B) and there were no serious adverse reactions. In conclusion, iopamidol seems to be a safe contrast medium for the patients without history of allergy, but we should examine it carefully as in the case of conventional ionic contrast media.
