Welcome to HCM: Please note that you should be okay as long as you keep hydrated, please take plenty of water. Your uine output should continue to be the same.
If you have less urination than normal you might want to get checked, not everyone who has METFORMIN with Contrast will get Contract Induced Nephropathy, concentration of contrast and prior kidney injury are the biggest tipping points.
