It is hoped that recently released low osmolality radiocontrast agents (RCAs) will have a lower nephrotoxic potential, since dye nephropathy may be related to hyperosmolality. We report here 2 cases of typical oliguric dye nephropathy in patients without risk factors for dye nephropathy. These cases show that these new agents do have nephrotoxic potential.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007472 Iohexol An effective non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent which is used in myelography, arthrography, nephroangiography, arteriography, and other radiographic procedures. Its low systemic toxicity is the combined result of low chemotoxicity and low osmolality. Compound 545,Exypaque,Iohexol 350,Nycodenz,Omnipaque
D007479 Iopamidol A non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent which is used in myelography, arthrography, nephroangiography, arteriography, and other radiological procedures.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
