Gadolinium usually is injected into the circulatory system. The injection allows doctors to better diagnose the MRI scan. 

After the MRI is administered, the gadolinium typically is filtered out of the body. However, for people with serious kidney problems, the gadolinium may filter out slowly or stay for a long period of time. The increased exposure to gadolinium may increase the chances of contracting Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis. 

If you or anyone you know has suffered Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis after gadolinium exposure, contact the Gadolinium lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.
