The skin disorder known as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, NSF, can affect people of all ages. This condition causes the skin on a person's body to thicken in areas including hands and feet.
People with kidney disorders are more susceptible to developing this disease. The contrast agent, gadolinium, is used in MRI scans and has been linked to the development of this disorder in patients suffering from kidney problems. The length of time that a person has been dealing with kidney problems does not matter in regards to this disorder.
Children with kidney problems can begin to show signs of this condition just like middle-aged adults.
If you or someone you know has NSF, you may be entitled to compensation. Please contact the gadolinium lawyers of Williams Kherkher by calling 800-761-3187 today.
