A member asked:
My dr ordered an mri w/wo contrast to check a spot on my pancreas. i forgot i was supposed to have my creatine checked before hand & my appt is on monday? can i still have the mri?

That will be up to the doctor. I suppose the blood test is used to gauge the amount of the contrast material that you can tolerate safely. Without having access to your other test results it is difficult to speculate on how the doc would respond without the test. If you have a history of diminished kidney function they may cancel.
