Hi
I guess the radiation of ct scans are one thing, and ct scans with contrast are somewhat more potent for the body to handle and flush.
One’s creatinine count seems to be an important factor before going forward with a contrast ct scan?

@troubletwo, you may want to check with your doctor. I am on a three month monitoring schedule, and I do have lab work completed prior to receiving the CT contrast for my scans. I have never had a scan delayed due to poor kidney or liver numbers.
Are you getting frequent scans? How long ago were you diagnosed?
