title: Use of gadolinium-based contrast agent for renal angiography: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: A 67-year-old woman suffering from chronic renal failure (Creatinine 480 micromol/L) underwent a gadolinium renal angiography, which visualized a stenosis of the right renal artery. There was no deterioration of renal function after the arteriography. A review of the literature is presented which show the efficiency of this technique to visualize the renal arteries, and the absence of nephrotoxicity after the use of gadolinium as a based contrast agent in high risk patients.
