Gadolinium Lawsuits/MRI Lawsuits, for Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF)
Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), also known as
Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NFD), is an incurable disease characterized by hardening of the skin and other body tissues. It is only contracted by people who have been injected with a
gadolinium-based contrast agent for a medical procedure such as an MRI, MRA, angiogram/angioplasty, CT scan (CAT scan), fistulogram, or venogram. People who were on dialysis or had impaired kidney function when injected with a
gadolinium contrast agent are most at risk of developing
NSF.
As of September 9, 2010, the Food and Drug Administration requires that the labels of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) warn health care professionals to NEVER use the three most dangerous brands of GBCAs on patients with acute kidney injury or chronic, severe renal impairment. The three most dangerous brands are
Omniscan,
Magnevist and
Optimark.
