Mrv/mra w/contrast. heard this contrast can cause kidney and whole-body damage. i have no kidney probs, but my dad died of kidney cancer. will the contrast dye for this test hurt me? is it usually safe?

The radiologist should perform an assessment of your kidney function, before use a contrast medium with the potential to harm kidneys. The contrast media in use are generally safe. Wish you good health!
