Effects of Iodine-Based Contrast Media on Blood and Endothelium

  • Chapter
Contrast Media

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 2905 Accesses

Abstract

The effects of contrast agents on red blood cells and white blood cells have been shown not to be clinically important. High-osmolar contrast media can induce thrombosis after injection, mainly because of endothelial injury. However, all contrast media have anticoagulant properties, especially the ionic agents. There is general consensus that good technique is the most important factor to reduce thrombotic complications following angiography.
