Contrast-induced nephropathy has become a significant source of hospital morbidity and mortality with the ever-increasing use of iodinated contrast media in diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures such as angiography in high-risk patients.
If you received a contrast injection, the IV is removed from your arm before you go home. There should be no effects from the scan or the contrast injection. After a CT scan you may be given special instructions such as being told to drink lots of fluids to help your kidneys remove the contrast material from your body. You may be asked to wait for a short time in the radiology department to ensure that you feel well after the exam.
