Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Lawyer

A dye used in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) scans has been linked to a rare and potentially fatal skin disease in some users. The problem stems from the metal gadolinium found in the dyes injected into some patients before MRI scans and all patients before MRA scans.

The disease is known as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis or nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NSF/NFD), and appears to only occur in patients with kidney disease who undergo an MRI or MRA where a gadolinium-based dye is used (1). Most recently, the medical community, in recognizing the established link between NSF and gadolinium dyes, has started referring to the condition as gadolinium-associated systemic fibrosis, or GASF.

Our law firm is actively investigating cases of patients administered a gadolinium-based contrast dye who later suffered from nephrogenic systemic fibrosis or nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NSF/NFD). We want to help. Call us today.
