When undergoing an MRI, people with kidney problems should exercise care. While not all MRI scans are dangerous for people with kidney problems, MRIs with some contrast agents may pose a serious risk.
Gadolinium contrast agents pose a risk because they increase the chance of contracting nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). NSF causes the thickening of the skin, organs, and other tisues.
If you have kidney problems and suffered serious side effects from a gadolinium-based contrast agent, contact the NSF lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.
