Has anyone heard if this is dangerous, to mix dye into the system while actively on sutent? I have a local doc that says it could damage my one remaining kidney yet the folks at md anderson didn't think it was a big deal. I never know who to believe anymore. thanks for your input.

LauraHi,  I don't know very much about your situation, but I found the following site on the net that may answer your question.  It says there is a possibility that the dye could damage your remaining kidney and recommends an MRI instead.  Hope this helps.http://www.ackc.org/    Chessie Tue, 08 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
