Apart from the adverse effects of the radiation I hear that the dye injected can damage kidneys.
A friends husband is now on a kidney transplant waiting list due to kidney damage directly related to this dye.
How common is this and are there any precautions I can take before having Angiogram. Any remedies I can take...herbs etc? Any advice will be appreciated Caro
My gfr was low 16, was toxic and dehydrated prior.
