An evaluation of the antioxidant properties of iodinated radiographic contrast media: An in vitro study.

ABSTRACT: This study reveals the antioxidant properties of iodinated radiographic contrast media to be used in diagnostic radiology. Di(phenyl)-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) iminoazanium (DPPH), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) assays were used for determining in vitro the antioxidant properties of five iodinated radiographic contrast media such as iobitridol (xenetix), iodixanol (visipaque), iohexol (omnipaque), ioxaglate (hexabrix), and isovue (iopamiro). An ascorbic acid and Trolox solution served as a positive control. The absorbance intensity of the colored product was recorded using a spectrophotometer. For DPPH and ABTS assay, the absorbance intensity at 533 and 752?nm, respectively was decreased when compared to control; it indicated an increase in antioxidant activity. For FRAP assay, the absorbance intensity at 593 nm was increased when compared to control; it indicated an increase in antioxidant activity. The results showed that five iodinated radiographic contrast media did not differ in DPPH^• radical-scavenging activity when compared to a corresponding control. The ferric reducing ability of all of these iodinated radiographic contrast media also did not differ when compared to a corresponding control, except for iobitridol at 200?mgI/mL and ioxaglate at 50-200?mgI/mL. All iodinated radiographic contrast media showed ABTS^•+ radical-scavenging activity. This finding suggested that iobitridol, iodixanol, iohexol, ioxaglate, and isovue exhibited weak in vitro antioxidant properties. The antioxidant ability depended on the type of free radical production and the concentration of iodinated radiographic contrast media.

Project description:The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to iodinated contrast media (ICM) has risen over last years, representing an important health problem. HSRs to ICMs are classified into immediate reactions (IRs) and non-immediate reactions (NIRs) according to if they occur within 1 h or longer after ICM administration. The diagnosis of HSRs to ICM is complex as skin test (ST) sensitivity ranges widely, and drug provocation test (DPT) protocols are heterogeneous. In this manuscript, we describe the clinical characteristics of a series of patients confirmed as HSR to ICM and the diagnosis procedure carried out, looking into those cases confirmed as HSRs to multiple ICMs. For this purpose, we prospectively evaluated patients suggestive of HSRs to ICMs and classified them as IRs or NIRs. STs were carried out using a wide panel of ICMs, and in those with a negative ST, a single-blind placebo controlled DPT was performed with the culprit. If ST or DPT were positive, then tolerance was assessed with an alternative negative ST ICM. We included 101 cases (12 IRs and 89 NIRs) confirmed as allergic. Among them, 36 (35.64%) cases were allergic to more than one ICM (8 IRs and 28 NIRs). The most common ICM involved were iomeprol and iodixanol. Although not statistically significant, the percentage of patients reporting anaphylaxis was higher in patients allergic to multiple ICMs compared with patients allergic to a single ICM (50 vs. 25%). Likewise, the percentage of positive results in STs was higher in patients allergic to multiple ICMs compared with those allergic to a single ICM (for IR 62.5 vs. 25%, p > 0.05; and for NIR, 85.71 vs. 24.59%, p < 0.000). In cases allergic to more than one ICM, DPT with negative-ST ICM was positive in more than 60% (24/36) of cases. Therefore, allergy to multiple ICMs is common, associated to severe reactions in IRs, and confirmed frequently by positive STs. The allergological work-up should include DPT not only to establish the diagnosis but also to identify safe alternative ICM, even if ICM is structurally unrelated and ST is negative. More studies are needed to clarify mechanisms underlying cross-reactivity among ICMs.

Project description:IntroductionIodinated contrast media (ICM)-induced hyperthyroidism is an underestimated, potentially severe condition; however, its prevention has not been sufficiently investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of ICM on thyroid status, the advantages of prophylactic therapy for iodine-induced hyperthyroidism (IIH) in patients with euthyroid goiter and cardiovascular comorbidities, and the association between the incidence of IIH and thyroid volume.MethodsThirty-six euthyroid patients undergoing procedures involving ICM administration were divided into 2 groups: the first group (n = 13) received prophylactic treatment with thiamazole or thiamazole combined with sodium perchlorate during ICM exposure; the second group (n = 23) did not receive prophylaxis. Thyroid-stimulating hormone levels were evaluated before and after ICM, and thyroid hormone levels were assessed after ICM at different points in time. The morphology of the thyroid was evaluated by ultrasonography.ResultsTwenty-one patients (58%) developed hyperthyroidism after ICM. Hyperthyroidism was observed more frequently in the group without prophylactic treatment than in the group with prophylaxis (65 vs. 15%, respectively; p = 0.006). No cases of overt hyperthyroidism were observed in the group receiving thiamazole with sodium perchlorate. IIH persisted for a median time of 52.5 days. Larger thyroid volume was associated with a significantly higher occurrence of ICM-induced hyperthyroidism (p = 0.04).ConclusionsPatients with euthyroid goiter receiving ICM are at risk of developing hyperthyroidism. The occurrence of hyperthyroidism after ICM in euthyroid patients with goiter is higher in those with larger thyroid volume. The frequency of ICM-induced hyperthyroidism in euthyroid patients with goiter is lower in those receiving prophylactic therapy with thiamazole in monotherapy or in combination with sodium perchlorate than in those not receiving prophylactic treatment.

Project description:ObjectiveTo review the efficacy of pharmacological prevention of serious reactions to iodinated contrast media.DesignSystematic review.Data sourcesSystematic search (multiple databases, bibliographies, all languages, to October 2005) for randomised comparisons of pretreatment with placebo or no treatment (control) in patients receiving iodinated contrast media. Review methods Trial quality was assessed by all investigators. Information on trial design, population, interventions, and outcomes was abstracted by one investigator and cross checked by the others. Data were combined by using Peto odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.ResultsNine trials (1975-96, 10 011 adults) tested H1 antihistamines, corticosteroids, and an H1-H2 combination. No trial included exclusively patients with a history of allergic reactions. Many outcomes were not allergy related, and only a few were potentially life threatening. No reports on death, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, irreversible neurological deficit, or prolonged hospital stays were found. In two trials, 3/778 (0.4%) patients who received oral methylprednisolone 2x32 mg or intravenous prednisolone 250 mg had laryngeal oedema compared with 11/769 (1.4%) controls (odds ratio 0.31, 95% confidence interval 0.11 to 0.88). In two trials, 7/3093 (0.2%) patients who received oral methylprednisolone 2x32 mg had a composite outcome (including shock, bronchospasm, and laryngospasm) compared with 20/2178 (0.9%) controls (odds ratio 0.28, 0.13 to 0.60). In one trial, 1/196 (0.5%) patients who received intravenous clemastine 0.03 mg/kg and cimetidine 2-5 mg/kg had angio-oedema compared with 8/194 (4.1%) controls (odds ratio 0.20, 0.05 to 0.76).ConclusionsLife threatening anaphylactic reactions due to iodinated contrast media are rare. In unselected patients, the usefulness of premedication is doubtful, as a large number of patients need to receive premedication to prevent one potentially serious reaction. Data supporting the use of premedication in patients with a history of allergic reactions are lacking. Physicians who are dealing with these patients should not rely on the efficacy of premedication.

Project description:ObjectiveTo appraise the quality of guidelines on intravenous iodinated contrast media (ICM) use in patients with kidney disease, and to compare the recommendations among them.MethodsWe searched four literature databases, eight guideline libraries, and ten homepages of radiological societies to identify English and Chinese guidelines on intravenous ICM use in patients with kidney disease published between January 2018 and June 2023. The quality of the guidelines was assessed with the Scientific, Transparent, and Applicable Rankings (STAR) tool.ResultsTen guidelines were included, with a median STAR score of 46.0 (range 28.5-61.5). The guidelines performed well in "Recommendations" domain (31/40, 78%), while poor in "Registry" (0/20, 0%) and "Protocol" domains (0/20, 0%). Nine guidelines recommended estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 as the cutoff for referring patients to discuss the risk-benefit balance of ICM administration. Three guidelines further suggested that patients with an eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 and high-risk factors also need referring. Variable recommendations were seen in the acceptable time interval between renal function test and ICM administration, and that between scan and repeated scan. Nine guidelines recommended to use iso-osmolar or low-osmolar ICM, while no consensus has been reached for the dosing of ICM. Nine guidelines supported hydration after ICM use, but their protocols varied. Drugs or blood purification therapy were not recommended as preventative means.ConclusionGuidelines on intravenous ICM use in patients with kidney disease have heterogeneous quality. The scientific societies may consider joint statements on controversial recommendations for variable timing and protocols.Critical relevance statementThe heterogeneous quality of guidelines, and their controversial recommendations, leave gaps in workflow timing, dosing, and post-administration hydration protocols of contrast-enhanced CT scans for patients with kidney diseases, calling for more evidence to establish a safer and more practicable workflow.Key points• Guidelines concerning iodinated contrast media use in kidney disease patients vary. • Controversy remains in workflow timing, contrast dosing, and post-administration hydration protocols. • Investigations are encouraged to establish a safer iodinated contrast media use workflow.
