Because NSF is a relatively new disease, the history of the disease is not well understood.

In some cases, patients report a gradual improvement in mobility and softening of the skin over time. However, no cases of spontaneous healing have been reported. 

Some patients with NSF have experienced a rapid disease course that has resulted in death. NSF does not directly cause death, but may contribute to loss of life by creating a number of bodily complications.
