MEDIA

The paper analyzes the undesired reactions at 6053 urographies (IVU) in the correlation of the iodic and the non-iodic contrast media (ICM).
Depending on the allergological status the ICM (iodic or non-iodic) is chosen for the sake of carrying out an urographic examination as well as the necessary premedication measures.
The undesired reactions to the TCM are registered in 4,87% (1:20 IVU), namely in 5,6% (1:17 IVU) to the iodic and in 2,39% (1:41 IVU) to the non-iodic ICM.
At the intravenous application of the iodic ICM at the IVU the undesired reactions are registred for 2,4 times more often than at the application of the non-iodic TCM.

Key words: Iodic contrast medium, urography, undesired reactions
