Good job, MRI. You'll be glad. The gadolinium contrast dye, there are different kinds of grades, some less harmful (although, many are) to the kidneys. I toggle between stage 1 & 2, or eGFR 69 to 75, depending on hydration and other factors. If you feel apprehensive, I encourage you to express it, as many men here are heroes for me and I received a lot of reassurance. Keep us informed.
