News Report: MRI with Gadolinium Contrast Dye Immobilizes Woman. Get lawsuit resources.
You may be asking yourself, "Do I have a Gadolinium MRI Contrast Dye Lawsuit?
Since 2006, when the Food and Drug Administration warned the public about the risks to gadolinium, people have been coming forward to tell their story and seek lawsuit compensation. Below is one woman's experience with this potentially dangerous medical product.
A woman who struggled with kidney disease was ultimately confined to a wheelchair due to a medical test with gadolinium, said a report in the Courier Post on May 27, 2007.
According to the article, the 46-year-old mother of two began experiencing symptoms following an MRI medical procedure in which gadolinium dye was injected into her veins.
A month after that test, the first signs of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis developed in the form of a tightening and reddening of the skin on her legs.
Soon, she was unable to walk and forced to use a wheelchair. NSF immobilizes the skin and joints, and, in the most severe cases, can paralyze the internal organs, as well, with fatal results.
Worldwide, 215 cases of NSF have been reported, said the Post. To date, there is no known cure for the rare disease.
