Abstract The study comparesin vitro effect of different contrast media on complement activity and eicosanoid content. Ionic agents (Bilignost〉Iodamide〉Triombrast〉Hexabrix) exert pronounced complement-activating effect, while nonionic agents markedly increase blood content of arachidonic acid metabolites. The complement-activating effect of contrast media did not correlate with their ability to elevate blood content of prostaglandin F2α and leukotrienes C4 and B4.
