Doctors’ responses

For a 63-year-old patient with Type 2 Diabetes (for 25 years), an enlarged prostate, and high BP, undergoing CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) with contrast dye, kidney precautions are essential. Since contrast dye is eliminated through the kidneys, staying well-hydrated before and after the scan helps flush it out. A kidney function test (serum creatinine & eGFR) should be done before the procedure to assess any risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Some doctors recommend pausing Metformin for 48 hours post-scan to prevent lactic acidosis, especially if kidney function is borderline. If fasting is required for the scan, diabetes medications should be adjusted to prevent hypoglycemia. Patients with an enlarged prostate should empty their bladder before the scan to avoid discomfort. After the scan, monitor urine output—any significant decrease or swelling should be reported to a doctor. Increased urination is common, helping to remove the contrast dye naturally. Blood sugar levels may fluctuate, so regular monitoring is advised. High BP medications should be continued unless directed otherwise. Those with a history of contrast allergies should inform their doctor beforehand. Overall, hydration, kidney monitoring, and proper medication management are key precautions for a safe procedure.
