Case-control study of gadodiamide-related nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis may be caused by gadolinium (Gd)-containing magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. Most reported cases were associated with one particular agent, gadodiamide. Yet, unidentified cofactors might explain why only a minority of renal failure patients exposed to gadodiamide develop nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. METHODS We conducted a case-control stud...
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-associated nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a progressive, potentially fatal multiorgan system fibrosing disease related to exposure of patients with renal failure to the gadolinium-based contrast agents used in magnetic resonance imaging. Because of this relationship between nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and gadolinium-based contrast agents, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration currently warns against u...

It is recognised for its epidemiological association in patients with chronic renal failure, after administration of gadolinium-chelate magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent, partic...
متن کاملNephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a recently diagnosed disease that occurs in patients with chronic kidney disease and acute renal failure. The patients develop skin thickening and fibrosis which is usually symmetrical, and typically of the upper and lower extremities. In some cases the progression is rapid leading to joint contractures confining the patient to a wheelchair. Systemic involvement...
