Mri Contrast Lawyer Side Effects Nsf Dye Gadolinium

WHAT IS NSF?

NSF is an extremely disabling disease characterized by high blood pressure, burning, itching, swelling and hardening of the skin. Other symptoms include red or dark patches on the skin; pain deep in the hip bones or ribs and muscle weakness. NSF can progress to the point of causing severe stiffness in joints, and it can lead to death. It can take some time after Gadolinium exposure for NSF symptoms to appear, and the disease often progresses very slowly. At this time, there is no treatment or cure for NSF. However, improved kidney function does seem to slow the development of the disease. Unfortunately, for many patients with NSF, the only way to improve their kidney function is with a transplant. The MRI-NSF injury lawyers at Parker Waichman Alonso LLP can help victims of NSF obtain compensation for their Gadolinium MRI contrast dye injuries to help them recover lost wages, the costs of medical care, pain and suffering and damages from the makers of Gadolinium Contrast Dye used in MRIs.


NSF AND GADOLINIUM CONTRAST DYES USED IN MRI.

In 2006, Dutch NSF researchers first discovered the connection between NSF and the Gadolinium Contrast Dyes used in MRI. Since 2006, other researchers have reinforced the Dutch NSF findings. A Yale University study reported that 95-percent of those with NSF had an MRI that involved a Gadolinium contrast dye two to three months before their symptoms appeared. In 2007, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital found that kidney patients who had undergone an MRI with a Gadolinium Contrast Dye were 10 times more likely to develop NSF than patient who had not been exposed to such agents. The MRI-NSF injury lawyers at Parker Waichman Alonso LLP are currently evaluating cases where victims have been afflicted with NSF due to their exposure to Gadolinium Contrast Dyes used in MRIs.
