Risk Factors for Radiocontrast Media Allergy

Risk factors for radiocontrast media allergy include a history of previous allergic reactions to contrast dyes, asthma, or other allergic conditions like hay fever. People with kidney problems or those who have had multiple imaging tests requiring contrast are also at higher risk. Additionally, having certain health conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes, can increase vulnerability. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any past reactions or allergies, as they can help determine the safest options for imaging tests involving contrast media.
