Give me something clever to say 🤓
IgAN is no longer one-size-fits-all.

In a CKD pt, the fear of giving iv contrast during a CT (to diagnose cancer) is more than the fear of cancer.
I need radiologists/techs to understand that
A. If I’ve signed the form, I know what I’m doing!
B. The risk of “contrast nephrotoxicity” is negligible, perhaps non-existent.
Read the lit!
