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.

If you have developed Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis or Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NSF/NFD) skin disease following an MRI/MRA, you deserve the guidance of a lawyer experienced in such cases. Please complete the form below for a free legal evaluation.
