Synopsis

In order to provide preliminary data about the potential reduction of contrast agents’ residuals in hospital wastewater and to estimate contrast agent excretion in the first hour after administration, the GREENWATER study aims to prospectively monitor over a 12-months timeframe the quantity of retrievable ICAs and GBCAs from urine collected from outpatients within an hour from contrast agent administration, also evaluating the influence of patient age and sex and the overall rate of acceptance to participate to the study. Our current purpose is to provide a first glance on this initial experience.
