  Speaker 2: And the number to reach me off air is seven
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: two seven nine one sixty four to two one five.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: What no One tells you about contrast and CT and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: MRI scans came up in the Journal of Life and Wellness.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Regina Chaneau felt burning the minimum. The contrast entered her veins.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: The MRI came after a devastating car crash in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: way to MD.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Anderson Cancer Center.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: She had her twelve year old son, who was battling
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: stage four cancer, had been driving to his treatment when
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a drunk driver slammed into their car. Chaneau, a trauma surgeon,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: lost movement to right arm and suffered multiple spinal injuries.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Over the next several years, she underwent fifteen MRIs twelve
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: with gadolinium based contrast. As her symptoms worsened, doctor had
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: ordered more tests, including CT scans with iodinated contrast. Her
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: thinking became clouded. Simple tasks such as tracking her son's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: medications became difficult. Her skin burned, her hair fell at clumps,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: kidneys slowed. I was told medical school that gandalinium was
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: safe like ultrasound. Should know who was trained at Texas
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Medical School said that was a lie. Every year, millions
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: of people undergo as CT and MRI scans with contrast agents.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: These are not simply dies, but drugs, each with its
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: own risk, clearance, timeline, and trade offs. Yet most patients
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: leave the imaging center knowing almost none of This lack
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: of information about the drugs can make people wonder whether they.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Need the detox. In most cases, they do not.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: The strongest protection is asking informed questions before the scan. Afterwards,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the best support is usually simple, includes knowing what.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: To watch for.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: For most people with healthy kidneys, that doesn't include me.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I donated CT contrast is rapidly eliminated. Nearly all of
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it leaves the body and urine within twenty four hours,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: according to the American College of radiology. The main concern
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: is not long term retention, but whether the kidneys can
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: handle the temporary load and whether an allergic reaction will occur.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Those at hire a kidney risk include people with chronic
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: kidney disease, diabetes related kitty to the image, dehydration, heart failure,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: advanced age, or several contrast scans in a short period
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of time. Allergic reactions to modern iodinated contrast are uncommon.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: The injection itself can feel strange. Patients notice warmth offen
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the pelvis, along with a metallic taste or mild nausea.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: MRI contrast is usually gandolinium based. Most of it leads
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: with the kidneys, often within about a day. However, the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Food and Drug Administration said trace amounts can remain in
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the brain, bones, and skin even in people with normal
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: kidney function. That's a critical factor. These findings what prompted
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the FDA to require class warnings and patient medication guides
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: for all gandalinium based MRI contrast dies.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The agency said the gandolinium can remain.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: In the body from months to years, but it has
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not directly been linked.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: To retention harm in patients with normal kidneys. Yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Since the FDA advisors doctors consider which agent they use,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: especially for patients who may need many MRIs over a lifetime.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Pregnant women, children, and those with inflammatory conditions must watch.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: American College of Radiology has stated that although retention occurs,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: harmful effects have been proven. The best time to ask
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: about contrast is when the scan is first ordered, ideally
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: during the visit with the doctor requesting the imaging, not
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: when you're already on the table before the scan. Asked
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the ordering doctor was contrast planned? Is that iod donated
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: for CT or gandalinium based for MRI? What's the exact
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: name in dose? Has my kidney function been checked recently?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Since contrast agents exited the kidneys, Doctors may need to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: know whether your kidneys can clear them safely. Common CT
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: agents you don't need to know that contrast can reveal
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: critical details that might otherwise be missed. However, a clearer
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: image is not always a more useful and the key
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: question is will it show more? But will it show
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: change with what we do next? Contrast is east easiest
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to justify when the results could change. The next step
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: finding an abscess that needs drainage bleeding that requires urgent
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: treatment or cancer that needs stage. After the scan, most
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: patients no special detox is needed. However, hard workouts along
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: sauna sessions, fasting, laxatives, alcohol, and a stack of new
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: supplements all seem to be helpful. Most people feel normal
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: after contrast, see commedia medical attention for difficulty breathing, throat swelling,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: chest pain, fainting. Symptoms show up later need more attention,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: especially after gandolinium smelk watches for what he calls the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: big five brain fog, burning, skin pain, muscle twitching, pins
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and needle sensation, and bone pain. Some patients with persistent
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: symptoms turned to kulation, a treatment which uses a drug
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: devind certain metal so that they can exit the body
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: in urine. American College of Radiation used as a neutral term.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Symptoms associated gadlinium exposure. Remove complete, I'll be talking to.
• 8:22
