title: [Adverse reactions to high osmolarity contrast media. A comparative-prospective study].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to verify and compare the different types of reactions to iodinated contrast media available at the Social Security Metropolitan Hospital Complex: Conray 60%, Vascoray and Uromiron. These are ionic, high osmolality compounds. The authors found that, in 400 patients not only the osmolality had an important role in the reactions observed, but that the intrinsic nature of the molecule of the contrast medium used was the determining factor.
