THE EXCRETION OF RADIOACTIVE IODIPAMIDE (CHOLOGRAFIN) BY NORMAL AND CIRRHOTIC MALES

Journal Article · · Am. J. Roentgenol., Radium Therapy Nuclear Med.
OSTI ID:4104843
Cholografin labeled with I/sup 131/injected intravenously into 37 normal and cirrhotic subjects gave urinary excretions differing significantly between both groups, both in total excretion and in rate of excretion. With few exceptions cirrhotics excreted a larger percentage of the contrast material in 24 hr and at a more rapid rate than normals. The total excretion and rate of excretion mirrored each other in all cases. Study of the urinary excretion of radioactive cholografin at the end of 48 and 72 hr yielded no information additional to that already obtained. There was detectable radioactivity over the thyroid gland in all patients so studied. Counting of blood samples and external counting over the liver failed to differentiate between the two groups.
