Can you drink alcohol after an enhanced ct?

Drinking alcohol is not recommended after an enhanced ct is done. Enhanced CT requires injection of contrast agent, which is mainly excreted from the body through the kidneys in the urine, so you need to drink a lot of water and urinate after enhanced CT to speed up the excretion of the contrast agent. Besides metabolized by the liver, a small part of alcohol will also be metabolized by the kidneys. At the same time, alcohol will make the blood vessels of the kidneys constricted and reduce the blood flow to the kidneys, so the burden on the kidneys will also be increased after drinking alcohol. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink alcohol after having an enhanced CT. If you drink alcohol, it may affect the excretion of the contrast agent, leading to the accumulation of contrast agent in the body and increasing the risk of allergy. Diet should be taken according to the doctor’s instructions after having an enhanced CT to avoid any related adverse reactions.
