Hello,
Ct Scan can be done plain (without contrast) and also be done with contrast (dye), so if your kidney tests are abnormal, you should always get only a plain CT, but in some conditions to know further anatomy ,if contrast CT is required, you should consult your Nephrologist and take his valuable opinion and fitness and go ahead. Hope I could clear your doubt.
Thank you.
