Learn about the Debilitating Side Effects Related to Gadolinium Dye
Have you had a medical test in which a gadolinium-based dye was used? If
so, you should discuss the risks with your doctor.
They include serious
side effects such as the possibility of developing NSF, a debilitating and
potentially fatal disease that involves the skin, muscle and internal
organs.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the signs and
symptoms of NSF include skin-burning or itching, reddened or darkened patches;
and/or skin swelling, hardening and/or tightening.
They also include
yellow raised spots on the whites of the eyes.
Other symptoms are joint
stiffness; limited range of motion in the arms, hands, legs, or feet; pain deep
in the hip bone or ribs; and/or muscle weakness.
After receiving a
medical test with the gandolinium-based dye, those patients known to be at risk
for NSF require clinical follow-up and long-term monitoring for the
disease.
