Abstract
We reviewed the safety of nuclear diuretic renography with furosemide in patients with sulfonamide allergies. The electronic health record was used to uncover any drug effects reported within 30 days of diuretic renograms performed between January 2009 and December 2015. Eighty-three of 1103 (7.5%) diuretic renograms were performed on patients with sulfonamide allergies. Two instances of minor rash occurred. No serious reactions occurred. Furosemide is associated with an extremely low risk of minor reactions in patients with sulfonamide allergies.
