Group II Gadolinium based contrasts are generally okay for kidney disease patients, as long as their eGFR is greater than 30%. Any time you can get a study done without contrast, opt for that! I realize that it depends on what the study is looking for, but we need to think of how any dye or contrast may affect our kidneys, regardless of their current function level.

I will say that in my case, my kidneys are about 13% eGFR even with dialysis. Some might argue, "hey, you're already on dialysis, how much worse could it be, to have contrast?" At this point, any scans could send me into complete kidney failure. So, my medical team and I discuss every procedure.

It's very important that you keep your team appraised of not only this new kidney concerns, but look into how any medications may affect the kidneys!
