Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The precise mechanism underlying the nephrotoxicity of radiocontrast media remains ill defined. In this study we have examined the direct effect of a wide range of low- and high-osmolar water-soluble contrast media (WSCM) on the vascular resistance of the isolated perfused rat kidney (IPRK). Water-soluble contrast media led to a significant fall in the renal perfusate flow and an increase in the renal vascular resistance (RVR). The magnitude of these haemodynamic changes was independent of the osmolality of the tested agents. This study shows a direct effect of WSCM on the vascular resistance of the isolated perfused rat kidney.
