[The results and tolerability of infusion cholegraphy using ioglycamide-85 (12.75 g meglumine salt in 75 ml) in comparison with the use of a hypotonic adipiodone solution (10 g meglumine salt in 100 ml)].

The quality of 96 infusion cholegraphies with isotonic Ioglycamide-85 solution and of 2,080 infusion cholegraphies with hypotonic adipiodone-50 gave equal images in 97% of the cases. Ioglycamide-85 caused side-effects in 15.6%, Adipiodone only in 1.5% of the cases. For improved compatibility of Ioglycamide and of new contrast media as Iotroxamide and Idoxamide the use of hypotonic solutions is recommended for infusion. Their concentration should be osmotically tolerated by the erythrocytes. For the prevention of liver necrosis by contrast media the amount of contrast medium should be limited to 10 g meglumine salt.
