It has now been reported that several hundred or more kidney patients have been diagnosed with NSF/NFD after receiving MRI scans using Gadolinium based contrast injections. NSF (Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis), also referred to as Nephrogenic Fibrosin Dermopathy, is an extremely serious, and possibly fatal condition, the signs of which include: burning, itching, swelling, hardening and tightening of the skin, red or dark patches on the skin, yellow spots on the whites of the eyes, stiffness in joints, all of which have been linked to cell damage caused by Gadolinium based MRI contrast agents. We are seeing very serious injuries among our clients, and several lawsuits have already been filed.
