Hundreds of individuals have now been diagnosed with NSF (Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis) after receiving an injection of a Gadolinium based contrast agent. The people most at risk were those with kidney failure, renal disease, because their kidneys were not functioning well enough to get the Gadolinium out of their system. Once Gadolinium enters the human cells it causes horrible damages. The trade names for the Gadolinium products are Omniscanâ„¢, OptiMARKâ„¢, Magnevistâ„¢, ProHanceâ„¢, and MultiHanceâ„¢. NSF is characterized by areas of tight and rigid skin that makes it difficult to bend joints. Other signs of NSF/NFD include, burning, itching, swelling, hardening and tightening of the skin, stiffness in joints, and many other serious symptoms.
