What Are The Side Effects Of Contrast Dye Used In CT Scan?
I had a CT scan with a contrast dye around 2 pm. My urine is quite dark yellow almost light brown. Having trouble not much coming out. Was fine before test clear and flowing good.v my face is sun burned looking . Have not been in sun for several weeks.
Delayed adverse reactions to radiographic contrast media are usually cutaneous (reported incidence varies from 1% to 23%) and include rash, skin redness, and skin swelling, sometimes associated with nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, that begins 1 hour or longer (usually 6–12 hours) after the administration of the dye. They are usually self-limiting and do not require any treatment. You can take drugs like levocetirizine to hasten up the resolution.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
