  • Title: Unilateral tubular obstruction: an unusual complication of urographic contrast media.
    Author: Trueba Arguiñarena FJ, Fuertes Alija JJ, Perez Homs M, Fernandez Del Busto E, Esteban Casado R.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1997 Dec; 169(6):1585-7. PubMed ID: 9393170.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to report our experience with four patients with renal colic who had a rare unilateral complication from urographic contrast media, with a dense and striated nephrogram affecting only the healthy kidney. All cases were reversible. CONCLUSION: An unusual complication of urography with a characteristic radiologic appearance is presented. This complication was transient and reversible in our patients. Unilateral tubular blockage induced by a contrast agent must be considered when the contralateral kidney shows evidence of ureteral obstruction.
