[Renal tolerability of iopromide 370 in patients with chronic renal insufficiency].

Abstract	Intravenous injection of iodinated contrast media usually induces modifications of renal function. Adverse effects of contrast media on renal function may affect diuresis, blood flow or glomerular filtration rate. These modifications are mainly related to osmolality but also chemotoxicity. This open study showed that after i.v. injection of a bolus of iopromide 370, a new nonionic contrast medium, there was no untoward effect on renal function in patients with renal insufficiency. This justifies comparative studies in patients with renal impairment including elderly subjects, to confirm the tolerance of this product in high risk groups.
