Side Effect #7: Contrast-Induced Nephropathy
A complex and life-threatening condition that gets triggered by unnecessary exposure to harmful medical imaging waves. Nephropathy involves high-grade damage to kidneys and usually gets induced when the value of serum creatinine exceeds by 0.5mg/dl. However, the exact relation between kidney damage and contrast-induced nephropathy is still not completely discovered, and there is still a lot of grey area that needs to be explored more. The fact that CT scans and unnecessary medical imaging can acutely injure or destroy your kidney functions is absolute and certain.
