Albuminuria following nephroangiography with low osmolar contrast media in the rat.

The degree of albuminuria after selective nephroangiography was investigated in anaesthetized rats. Iopentol, iopromide, iodixanol and compound 2-5410-4A all caused a slight but not statistically significant increase in albuminuria when compared with the control group. After ioxaglate injection a high degree of albuminuria was observed which was statistically significant (p less than 0.05) compared with all other contrast media and control groups.
