Who can not get IV contrast material?


The list will vary from site to site but here are some rules of note. Please remember that this list is not complete but a reasonable guide for the user.
IV contrast should routinely not be given to these patients:
  • Patient with elevated renal function but no cause yet defined
  • Patients with a known severe prior reaction to contrast
  • Patient who is markedly dehydrated
  • Patient who already received a large volume of contrast within the past 24 hours
