What is Ureteric Obstruction and Contrast Risks about?
The document discusses the risks of administering contrast media to patients with acute ureteric obstruction. Experimental studies in animals show that ureteric obstruction causes decreased renal blood flow and tubule damage. Administration of contrast media in these conditions can further reduce renal blood flow and cause hypoxic injury, necrosis of renal tubules, and structural kidney damage. The combination of insults from ureteric obstruction and contrast media is more harmful than either factor alone.
