Effects of Iodipamide on the Kidneys

Abstract
The renal blood flow was studied experimentally in 10 cats after intraarterial and intravenous administration of iodipamide. Six of the kidneys were examined histologically. The relationship between the effects observed and the injection rate is considered. The kidney size was measured in clinical material after rapid and slow injections of this contrast medium. The significance of the findings for the continuation of the use of iodipamide in roentgen diagnosis is discussed.
