Case report: renal excretion of gastrografin following rectal administration.

Renal excretion of water soluble iodinated contrast media following oral administration has often been described but no reports describing renal excretion following rectal administration of such contrast have previously been described. We describe a case of renal excretion of diatrizoate methylglucamine (Gastrografin, Schering) following a diagnostic 'gastrografin enema' in a woman with caecal carcinoma.
