Is there an alternative to doing an angiogram with contrast?

Asked by JLeslie (65446points) October 4th, 2020

If someone had kidney damage from the contrast previously and using the dye is contraindicated for the patient is there another diagnostic tool, or maybe an alternative dye that can be used for an angiogram?

This question comes up not because someone I know needs an angiogram, but rather a friend of a friend had one and now suffered significant kidney damage, and so the question is just a curiosity. It is already done and over with and he is being treated.
