Article Synopsis
- Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are commonly used in MRIs to enhance diagnostic sensitivity, but there has been an observed increase in hypersensitivity reactions associated with their use.
- Researchers conducted a systematic review of studies on immediate and delayed hypersensitivity reactions to GBCAs, ultimately selecting 26 relevant articles out of an initial 149.
- The review highlighted that while skin tests for allergy assessment show reasonable accuracy, drug provocation tests are necessary for cases where skin tests are negative, and further research is needed to better understand cross-reactivity among different GBCAs and improve management protocols.
