The side effects associated with Gadolinium exposure can be serious, life-threatening, and potentially fatal. One of the most serious side effects associated with Gadolinium exposure is Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF). This disorder is also known as Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NFD). These disorders can result in scaring of the skin and internal organs. Our nationwide Gadolinium Injury Lawyers are currently filing Gadolinium MRI Contrast Injection Compensation Lawsuits on behalf of innocent victims that are stricken with the serious side effects associated with these progressive disorders.
Gadolinium itself is used as a dye in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to produce a more detailed image of internal organs. Patients must be properly screened before being subjected to Gadolinium MRI contrast injections. Patients with existing kidney problems which are injected with Gadolinium are subject to NSF/NFD. Some of the symptoms of Gadolinium side effects include:
- swelling of the legs
- pain in the hips or pelvis
- weakness and dizziness
- thickening of the skin, including scale-like texture
- skin burning sensations
- impaired mobility and joint stiffness
If you have recently been exposed or injected with Gadolinium prior to MRI, contact a Gadolinium exposure injury lawyer immediately to see if you quality for compensation for your injuries. Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis and/or Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy are serious disorders that can become fatal. Seek the care of a specialist if you experience any of these symptoms and contact a Gadolinium side effect lawyer to discuss your rights.
