Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,
As we discussed earlier these are minor side effects of I.V contrast.
It is due to dehydration.
I advise to take 48-72 hours for recovery.
If condition persists then you may need serum creatinine estimation.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your query.
Further queries are most welcome.
Take Care
