Persistent activation of dermal fibroblasts from patients with gadolinium-associated nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a systemic fibrotic disorder occurring in some patients with renal insufficiency after exposure to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GdBCA). OBJECTIVES To examine cultured NSF dermal fibroblast production and expression of collagens I and III, fibronectin, hyaluronic acid and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) during serial passages and the effects...
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...

متن کاملNephrogenic systemic fibrosis following gadolinium administration.
To the Editor: Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is an emerging medical entity in patients with renal disease, which results in progressive cutaneous and systemic fibrosis. It is a rare disorder that has been recognized in patients with renal impairment since 2000.1 Patients with NSF demonstrate symmetric dermal and subcutaneous fibrosis evidenced by increasing skin induration on clinical exa...
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...
