Gadolinium deposition in the brain: another concern regarding gadolinium-based contrast agents.
Nevzat Karabulut Life is continuously confronting us with new issues and sometimes breaking our routine. One case in point is the curious way radiologists’ knowledge about the benefits and risks of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) continues to evolve. Significantly improving detection and characterization of lesions in a broad spectrum of diseases, GBCAs have become integral aides to ma...
متن کاملLinear Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents Are Associated With Brain Gadolinium Retention in Healthy Rats
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate Gd retention in the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) of linear gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) compared with a macrocyclic contrast agent. MATERIALS AND METHODS The brain tissue retention of Gd of 3 linear GBCAs (gadobenate dimeglumine, gadopentetate dimeglumine, and gadodiamide) and a macrocyclic GBCA (gadoterate meglumine) was compared i...
متن کاملChanges in Urinary and Serum Levels of Novel Biomarkers after Administration of Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents
OBJECTIVE The aim of our study is to describe the changes in urinary and serum levels of novel biomarkers after gadolinium contrast administration in patients with normal renal function. METHODS We measured four biomarkers in 28 volunteers: interleukin-18 (IL-18), N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and cystatin C. Urinary and serum samples were collect...
متن کاملNo Association between Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents and Development of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis: a Case Study
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), previously known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy, is an emerging systemic fibrosing disorder that develops in the setting of renal insufficiency. Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) is a fibrosing condition of the skin which shows an increased number of dendritic cells, fibroblasts and thickened collagen fibers resembling scleromyxedema. It is charact...
متن کاملGadolinium contrast agents: Over exposure?
Background MRI has dramatically changed the way we diagnose disease. With the introduction of contrast agents specifically for MRI, we were now able to see that which was ‘invisible’. Gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist) was introduced over 20 years ago, since then many more agents with variable features have been introduced. Several newer agents have improved ‘relaxivity’ and some designated ...
