[Value of iopamidol in radiologic diagnosis].
The effect of the contrast medium Iopamidol/Iopamiro, Bracco (Milano) was studied in 31 patients via intravascular or intraarticular injection, as well as in experiments on dogs with 32 kidneys, employing selective angiography and histological examination. In all cases, we obtained good x-ray films showing plenty of detail, the patient tolerance being good. Blood pressure, pulse rate and UN, SGOT, and SeBi values did not show any significant change. In some cases we noticed a moderate proteinuria. In the animal experiments, the kidneys showed histological changes in two cases only which could be ascribed to the action of the contrast medium; however, even these changes were of a minimal nature and degree, and were reversible. Iopamidol was found to be a very favourable contrast medium as far as the kidneys are concerned.
