For those who are unaware Cystografin is liquid iodine used mostly to help diagnose problems in your urinary tract. It's inserted directly into your bladder using a catheter, and the solution helps with clear x-ray pictures. I've just gone through it and my doctor didn't seem to bring up the potential side effects in much detail so I'm trying to make sure I know what to look out for. According to the documentation serious side effects are rare, but I just want to make sure I have all the right information. Just wanted to open up this discussion to see if anyone else has gone through this procedure and can give some insights.
