Iodinated radiographic contrast media can cause acute renal insufficiency, perhaps as a result of reduced renal blood flow, an intrarenal osmotic effect, or direct tubular toxicity (58). Diuretics, calcium channel blockers, adenosine receptor antagonists, acetylcysteine, low-dose dopamine, the dopamine Di receptor agonist fenoldopam, endothelin receptor antagonists, and captopril have all been used to prevent contrast nephropathy.

An analysis of adverse reactions associated with drugs in Poland (1997-98) has shown that 11.5% of these reactions were due to radiographic contrast media. People aged 36-65 were the largest group to have adverse drug reactions (23). 

Systemic adverse effects of enteral contrast agents Oral radiographic contrast media can intravasate during gastrointestinal examination. Septicemia has been reported (47).

Nephrotoxicity induced by radiographic contrast media is the third leading cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure.The incidence rises from <2% in patients with low risk to 40% to 50% in high-risk patients such as those with pre-existent renal insufficiency or diabetes melhtus. " " The risk of contrast nephropathy increases as the number of risk factors increases, and diabetic patients with renal insufficiency have the greatest risk." " ...
