Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I had a mri done on Tuesday with contrast and noticed some things. One I broke out with a rash/hives at the injextion site. It's still there. Second I am also bleeding/clotting when I use the restroom. Do I need to go to the er or will this all go away?
Dear patient, you have had an anaphylactic reaction, i.e., a severe formof allergic reaction due to the contrast of the MRI. mild rash at injection sit could be managed with antiallergic drugs like cetrizine, but bleeding in urine/ stools is a sign of severe reaction and u need additional medictions and medical care. i would best advice you to visit an ER at the earliest. And also, keep a record of this event for the next time you may be needed an imaging study with use of contrast. Pls get a drug allergy test done, once fit from this condition for future safety.
