A member asked:
Can mri contrast cause blood clots in people with hyper coagulate disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremely rare : The contrast is very unlikely to cause a blood clot. However, the venipucture used to administer the contrast could very slightly increase the risk of a clot at/near the site of the procedure if someone is hypercoagulable.
