title: [Nephrotoxicity of contrast media for urography in patients with chronic renal insufficiency].
abstract: The incidence of nephrotoxicity caused by intravenous pielography (IVP) contrast media was retrospectively evaluated in 42 patients with chronic renal failure. In 14 patients renal function was acutely impaired after IVP. In most cases the dysfunction was only temporary; in 3 cases permanent damage was induced, one of which required dialytic treatment. In the cases described there appears to be no correlation between the degree of renal failure and the incidence of nephrotoxicity but the former is clearly linked to the severity of the nephrotoxic response.
