Hydralazine predisposes to acute cutaneous vasculitis following urography with iopamidol

N J Reynolds et al. Br J Dermatol. 1993 Jul.

Abstract

We report a 60-year-old woman with renovascular hypertension who developed a severe cutaneous vasculitis 24 h after the injection of iopamidol during urography. A review of the literature suggests that her concomitant hydralazine therapy probably predisposed her to this reaction, as similar reactions have occurred in systemic lupus erythematosus, and hydralazine can induce a LE-like syndrome. We recommend that urography should be avoided in patients receiving hydralazine.
