Inhibition of platelet aggregation by contrast media. 1979

U Gafter, and D Creter, and D Zevin, and R Catz, and M Djaldetti

The effect of 30% Urografin on platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine, and arachidonic acid was examined. In vivo and in vitro experiments in 10 nondiabetic subjects and in vitro experiments in 7 diabetic-uremic patients showed a statistically significant decrease in platelet aggregation 20 minutes after in vitro incubation or in vivo infusion with Urografin. Urografin concentration was about 2.4-2.5%. The possibility of bleeding induced by contrast media and the connection with acute renal failure in diabetic-uremic patients are discussed.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.

D014511 Uremia A clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. It is usually the result of RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen CATABOLISM, such as UREA or CREATININE. Severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms. Uremias
