Can contrast instilled through a displaced PEG tube that extravasates into the abdomen cause acute kidney injury?

That's an interesting question. Gastrografin (diatrizoate), used for gastrointestinal (GI) imaging, is poorly absorbed from the GI tract. Nonetheless, low levels of renal excretion of Gastrografin can be seen in some normal individuals and in patients with losses of GI mucosal integrity. Leakage of ...

I don't believe we will get that with contrast in the abdominal cavity. Of course, if it leads to sepsis and hypotension, th...
