Contrast agents used for excretory urography impair platelet function in human patients. 1982

J Belleville, and A M Freyria, and A Pinet, and B Cornillon, and J Paul, and G Clendinnen, and R Eloy

The platelet function was investigated in 65 patients submitted to diagnostic excretion urography (injection of 60 ml contrast medium). Blood sampling was performed before (T0) 90 seconds after (T1) and 30 minutes after (T2) injection of the radiocontrast molecule (RCM). Five RCM of different osmolality ionicity and nature of the lateral chain have been tested. Platelet aggregation, platelet release of ATP, osmolality, total calcemia and ionized calcium level were determined on each plasma sample as well as RCM concentration at T1 and T2. Decrease (20 - 40%) of platelet aggregation occurred at T1, whichever platelet aggregating agent (ADP, collagen, Ristocetin or thrombin) were used (significant after Iopamidol 300 and Na Meg Ioxaglate). Platelet release of ATP induced by collagen was also decreased or delayed. These changes were rapidly reversible and a tendency to improvement was observed at T2. Among the five RCM tested, one (Na Diatrizoate) might be a proaggregating agent. No changes of osmolality occurred in the plasma and no correlation could be established between RCM concentration and platelet inhibition. A pathogenic hypothesis is suggested by the significant fall of total and ionized calcium level after RCM injection.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
