Some patients are more at risk than others of contracting nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Patients who are most at risk include those with severe kidney problems, such as those who require transplants.

Another at risk group includes young children whose kidneys are not completely developed. For such at risk patients, doctors may be advised to be cautious in using gadolinium-based contrast agents because they may increase the chances of contracting NSF.

If you may have contracted NSF because of a gadolinium-based contrast agent, contact the gadolinium lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.
