Renal excretion gadolinium

The extra-renal excretion of the extracellular gadolinium complexes is negligible and no significant absorption after enteral application has been observed. The elimination half-life depends on the glomerular filtration rate, and on the cardiovascular function. No significant differences between the gadolinium chelates have been observed, their terminal half-lives in blood are in the range of 15 to 75 minutes in animals and 1-2 h in humans [65-67].
