"Allergic-like" reaction risk in patients undergoing non-intravenous contrast urography.

CONCLUSION: Despite commonly voiced concerns, in this large series of over 2,500 patients, including 113 patients with a prior history of ICA undergoing contrast urography, only one patient was found to have a potential ALR event following PCNL. No patients undergoing a retrograde contrast urography with prior, documented ICA had a NIVC ALR event despite a low rate of pretreatment with corticosteroid or antihistamine.
