Abstract
Salivary concentrations of total iodine and iodide of patients with and without renal insufficiency have been measured after injection of urographic contrast media. The results support the hypothesis of in vivo deiodination of urographic contrast materials under certain conditions and also indicate that these contrast media are secreted in the saliva in small amounts. Low concentrations of inorganic, presumably unbound iodide have been detected regularly in bottled contrast media, but these amounts are probably small compared to that resulting from in vivo deiodination.
