A member asked:

I drink soda all the time. i'm getting a ct scan today. is it ok to drink soda right after i'm done r will it hurt my kidneys?

Dr. James Lin answered

Soda is ok!: Soda will not cause any problems for your kidneys before or after a ct scan. If you are having IV contrast as part of the exam, it may even help to clear the contrast out faster.

Dr Villaplana agreed
