Abstract

It is known that there is a high risk of progression of side effects in kidneys, so-called nephropathy induced with X-ray contrast agents, at applying of water-soluble X-ray contrast agents in medical practice. New water-insoluble compounds of orthotantalates of rare-earth elements are offered as new X-ray contrast agents for endocavitary administration. The achieved results have shown the absence of general toxic effect on bodies of animals, high X-ray contrast properties in vitro and in vivo experiments. The investigations were performed on white nondescript mice, rats Wistar subtype and Chinchilla rabbits.

Highlights

  • Side effects with the use of the X-ray contrast agents

  • The sides effects (SE) of application of water-soluble X-ray contrast agents (XCA) are observed for 5-8% of patients, and severe complications occur for 0.1% of patients

  • We found little statistical information about SE associated with the use of water-soluble Iodine-containing XCA (ICXCA) in endocavitary administration routes during X-ray examination: cholangiography (CG), oral duodenography, pyelography, cystography etc
