@joefriday49 there are different kinds of contrasts…ask your doc to request one…while i got the regular contrast (my #s are not very bad), i requested IV hydration right after my recent CT (my cancer team ordered it) —very helpful—felt better !

Well I do know better now. Unfortunately it's too late to do anything about it.
I had a Heart Cath back in May and they had to abort placing stents because they couldn't see well enough using the alternative contrast. A week later I had open heart surgery to repair my plumbing... Maybe it will last long enough to get me by, but at 77 years it probably won't be needed too long...
