Adverse Reactions to Radiocontrast Media

Adverse reactions to radiocontrast media are unwanted side effects that some people may experience after receiving a special dye used in medical imaging tests like CT scans. These reactions can range from mild, such as itching or a warm sensation, to more severe issues, including allergic reactions or kidney problems. Most people tolerate the dye well, but it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any allergies or kidney issues beforehand. Monitoring during and after the procedure helps manage any potential reactions effectively.
