Oral contrast for body CT: comparison of diatrizoate sodium and iohexol for patient acceptance and bowel opacification.
-
Nursing Mothers: It is not known to what extent iohexol is excreted in human milk.

"Our study showed a statistically significant taste preference for the low-osmolar contrast agent iohexol over the high-osmolar diatrizoate sodium, with no significant differences between agents in terms of side effects or bowel opacification," said

After comparing various estimated GFR models using a testing data set of 168 children in the CKiD trial, the investigators found that a modified Schwartz formula using height, serum creatinine, cystatin C (a small protein expressed throughout the body), blood urea nitrogen, and gender came the closest to replicating the results of the iohexol method, widely regarded as the gold standard in measuring GFR.
-

-
The investigators compared the Schwartz formula with a highly successful Scandinavian method of measuring GFR using disappearance of the X-ray dye iohexol from the blood.
