Abstract
We looked at patients who underwent a urologic procedure using radiographic contrast media in the urinary tract. Although adverse reactions (ARs) may occur with the use of contrast media in the urinary tract, these reactions are experienced by a minority of patients (approximately 1 in 200). In addition, we found that an allergy to intravenous contrast does not increase a patient's risk of an AR to contrast within the urinary tract.
