Speaker 1: Hey, good afternoon everybody.
Speaker 2: It is June eighteenth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have an MRI or CT scan?
Speaker 2: And they said they had to use contrast eye. Little
Speaker 2: piece came out that says what no one tells you
Speaker 2: about that contrast eye. So we're gonna look at it
Speaker 2: and see if there are risk factors involved.
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna talk about today.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned, hi, and welcome to Health Talk with Doctor Lynn.

Speaker 2: What no One tells you about contrast and CT and
Speaker 2: MRI scans came up in the Journal of Life and Wellness.
Speaker 2: Regina Chaneau felt burning the minimum. The contrast entered her veins.
Speaker 2: The MRI came after a devastating car crash in the
Speaker 2: way to MD.
Speaker 1: Anderson Cancer Center.
Speaker 2: She had her twelve year old son, who was battling
Speaker 2: stage four cancer, had been driving to his treatment when
Speaker 2: a drunk driver slammed into their car. Chaneau, a trauma surgeon,
Speaker 2: lost movement to right arm and suffered multiple spinal injuries.
Speaker 2: Over the next several years, she underwent fifteen MRIs twelve
Speaker 2: with gadolinium based contrast. As her symptoms worsened, doctor had
Speaker 2: ordered more tests, including CT scans with iodinated contrast. Her
Speaker 2: thinking became clouded. Simple tasks such as tracking her son's
Speaker 2: medications became difficult. Her skin burned, her hair fell at clumps,
Speaker 2: kidneys slowed. I was told medical school that gandalinium was
Speaker 2: safe like ultrasound. Should know who was trained at Texas
Speaker 2: Medical School said that was a lie. Every year, millions
Speaker 2: of people undergo as CT and MRI scans with contrast agents.
Speaker 2: These are not simply dies, but drugs, each with its
Speaker 2: own risk, clearance, timeline, and trade offs. Yet most patients
Speaker 2: leave the imaging center knowing almost none of This lack
Speaker 2: of information about the drugs can make people wonder whether they.
Speaker 1: Need the detox. In most cases, they do not.
Speaker 2: The strongest protection is asking informed questions before the scan. Afterwards,
Speaker 2: the best support is usually simple, includes knowing what.
Speaker 1: To watch for.
Speaker 2: For most people with healthy kidneys, that doesn't include me.
Speaker 2: I donated CT contrast is rapidly eliminated. Nearly all of
Speaker 2: it leaves the body and urine within twenty four hours,
Speaker 2: according to the American College of radiology. The main concern
Speaker 2: is not long term retention, but whether the kidneys can
Speaker 2: handle the temporary load and whether an allergic reaction will occur.
Speaker 2: Those at hire a kidney risk include people with chronic
Speaker 2: kidney disease, diabetes related kitty to the image, dehydration, heart failure,
Speaker 2: advanced age, or several contrast scans in a short period
Speaker 2: of time. Allergic reactions to modern iodinated contrast are uncommon.
Speaker 2: The injection itself can feel strange. Patients notice warmth offen
Speaker 2: the pelvis, along with a metallic taste or mild nausea.
Speaker 2: MRI contrast is usually gandolinium based. Most of it leads
Speaker 2: with the kidneys, often within about a day. However, the
Speaker 2: Food and Drug Administration said trace amounts can remain in
Speaker 2: the brain, bones, and skin even in people with normal
Speaker 2: kidney function. That's a critical factor. These findings what prompted
Speaker 2: the FDA to require class warnings and patient medication guides
Speaker 2: for all gandalinium based MRI contrast dies.
Speaker 1: The agency said the gandolinium can remain.
Speaker 2: In the body from months to years, but it has
Speaker 2: not directly been linked.
Speaker 1: To retention harm in patients with normal kidneys. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Since the FDA advisors doctors consider which agent they use,
Speaker 2: especially for patients who may need many MRIs over a lifetime.
Speaker 2: Pregnant women, children, and those with inflammatory conditions must watch.
Speaker 2: American College of Radiology has stated that although retention occurs,
Speaker 2: harmful effects have been proven. The best time to ask
Speaker 2: about contrast is when the scan is first ordered, ideally
Speaker 2: during the visit with the doctor requesting the imaging, not
Speaker 2: when you're already on the table before the scan. Asked
Speaker 2: the ordering doctor was contrast planned? Is that iod donated
Speaker 2: for CT or gandalinium based for MRI? What's the exact
Speaker 2: name in dose? Has my kidney function been checked recently?
Speaker 2: Since contrast agents exited the kidneys, Doctors may need to
Speaker 2: know whether your kidneys can clear them safely. Common CT
Speaker 2: agents you don't need to know that contrast can reveal
Speaker 2: critical details that might otherwise be missed. However, a clearer
Speaker 2: image is not always a more useful and the key
Speaker 2: question is will it show more? But will it show
Speaker 2: change with what we do next? Contrast is east easiest
Speaker 2: to justify when the results could change. The next step
Speaker 2: finding an abscess that needs drainage bleeding that requires urgent
Speaker 2: treatment or cancer that needs stage. After the scan, most
Speaker 2: patients no special detox is needed. However, hard workouts along
Speaker 2: sauna sessions, fasting, laxatives, alcohol, and a stack of new
Speaker 2: supplements all seem to be helpful. Most people feel normal
Speaker 2: after contrast, see commedia medical attention for difficulty breathing, throat swelling,
Speaker 2: chest pain, fainting. Symptoms show up later need more attention,
Speaker 2: especially after gandolinium smelk watches for what he calls the
Speaker 2: big five brain fog, burning, skin pain, muscle twitching, pins
Speaker 2: and needle sensation, and bone pain. Some patients with persistent
Speaker 2: symptoms turned to kulation, a treatment which uses a drug
Speaker 2: devind certain metal so that they can exit the body
Speaker 2: in urine. American College of Radiation used as a neutral term.
Speaker 2: Symptoms associated gadlinium exposure. Remove complete, I'll be talking to.
Speaker 1: You right now.
Speaker 2: Remove complete a wonderful prep taken for about five to
Speaker 2: seven days. We'll get all that junk out of your system,
Speaker 2: as will end. A seat assystem a combination. You can
