No 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 کاملContrast Agents: Safety Profile
Introduction Magnetic resonance contrast agents, in particular the gadolinium-based agents, are very safe and lack the nephrotoxicity (when injected intravenously) associated with iodinated contrast media. Minor adverse effects occur infrequently and include nausea, taste perversion, and hives. Whereas these agents cannot be differentiated on the basis of mild adverse effects, they do differ in...
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 کاملGadolinium-Based Contrast Agent Accumulation and Toxicity: An Update.
In current practice, gadolinium-based contrast agents have been considered safe when used at clinically recommended doses in patients without severe renal insufficiency. The causal relationship between gadolinium-based contrast agents and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with renal insufficiency resulted in new policies regarding the administration of these agents. After an effective s...
متن کاملEvaluation of toxicity of gadolinium based contrast agents on skin fibroblasts
Introduction: Gadolinium based contrast agents have been reported to induce nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with impaired renal function. Skin fibrosis is a characteristic symptom while the mechanism of causing NSF is unclear. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxicty Gd(III)-based contrast agents, including Omniscan®, Mutihance® and ProHance®, to normal rat skin fibroblast...
