Summary

Background

Ferumoxytol is used for parenteral iron therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Because of its uniquely powerful properties as an intravascular MR contrast agent, there is growing interest in the safety of ferumoxytol as a possible alternative to gadoliniumbased contrast agents in patients with CKD and in patients with congenital heart disease.
