A member asked:
I am booked in for a ct of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis with injected contrast tomorrow. i have recently been told i have a low blood count and have another blood test for iron and vitamins booked for next thursday. is it safe to have contrast?

If your kidney function is normal, i.e. eGFR above 50 cc/min, which is considered normal for your age, you can receive IV contrast if indicated, provided you are not allergic to iodide. Anemia is not a risk for contrast induced kidney disease.
