Have You Been Exposed?
Gadolinium has been the focus of many lawsuits recently because it has been linked to a potentially life threatening condition known as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).
NSF may develop in people with kidney disease who undergo magnetic resonance imaging or magnetic resonance angiography. Gadolinium is used in some MRI and MRA contrast agents.
NSF causes skin to thicken so that people can't bend or extend joints. NSF also can develop in thigh muscles, lung vessels, the diaphragm and lower abdomen. Over time, it can lead to death.
This website provides nonmedical information about the disease to help you avoid exposure. Following links on this site also may provide guidance on what to do after you have been exposed.
If you have received an MRI or MRA and experience any of the symptoms discussed in these pages, you should contact your doctor immediately. If you believe you have been harmed by gadolinium exposure, it may be wise to seek legal counsel.
