|
Important news for Californians suffering from nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF): California NSF lawsuits have been consolidated in Department 304 of the San Francisco Superior Court, with the Honorable Richard A. Kramer presiding. This means if a case is filed anywhere in a California state court, and is not removed to federal court by the defendants, the case will be overseen by Judge Kramer.

NSF is a progressive, debilitating disease caused by gadolinium-based contrast agents used in MRIs, MRAs, and other medical scans. The people most likely to develop NSF are those on dialysis or with renal impairment, past kidney transplant recipients, or past liver transplant recipients. Symptoms of NSF include:
- Swelling, thickening and tightening of the skin, especially on the legs or arms;
- Skin is hard, and feels "woody" or "leathery";
- The skin has an "orange peel" appearance;
- Hair loss on the affected area of the skin;
- Joints contract and become inflexible, especially the hands, wrists, elbows or feet, ankles, knees;
- Yellow papules in the whites of the eyes;
- Severely affected people may be unable to walk or close their hands.
