The effect of manipulation of reticuloendothelial system activity on glomerular deposition of aggregated protein and immune complexes in two different strains of mice.

Abstract

Glomerular uptake of intravenously administered aggregated albumen or immune complexes in mice appears to be inversely related to the activity of the reticuloendothelial system (RES). Stimulation of RES activity diminishes the amount of material appearing in the glomerulus whereas RES blockade enhances glomerular uptake. The possible relevance of these observations to experimental models of immune complex disease is discussed.

[Risk of incompatibility reactions in the repeated use of contrast media in urography].

In a prospective study 260 urographies were evaluated regarding clinical compatibility. In altogether 11% of the patients mild incompatibility reactions were observed (heat sensation, urticaria, nausea, vomiting). 29% of the patients with known prior contrast agent incompatibility suffered from anaphylactoid symptoms mostly of a subjective type (heat sensation, nausea). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of objective symptoms (urticaria, vomiting) between patients with prior contrast media incompatibility (3%) and patients who had tolerated previous contrast media applications without symptoms (2%).
