Adverse reactions at intravenous cholegraphy with ioglycamide. Correlation with the level of circulating sex hormones.

Intravenous cholegraphy with ioglycamide was performed in 861 cases. The patients were divided into hormonally disparate age groups. The phase of the menstrual cycle was recorded. A correlation was demonstrated between the incidence of side effects and the level of circulating sex hormones at the time of examination. The possible mechanisms for these adverse reactions are discussed.
