Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), also known as Nephrogenic Fibrosing

Dermopathy (NFD), is a rare and serious syndrome that involves fibrosis of skin,

joints, eyes, and internal organs. Its cause is not fully understood, but it

seems to be associated with exposure to gadolinium (which is frequently used as

a contrast substance for MRIs and MRAs) in patients with severe kidney failure.

In Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), patients develop large areas of

hardened skin with fibrotic nodules and plaques. Flexion contractures with an

accompanying limitation of range of motion can also occur. Nephrogenic Systemic

Fibrosis (NSF) resembles scleromyxedema at the histologic (microscopic) level;

it shows a proliferation of dermal fibroblasts and dendritic cells, thickened

collagen bundles, increased elastic fibers, and deposits of mucin.Most patients

with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) have undergone hemodialysis for renal

failure, some have never undergone dialysis and others have received only

peritoneal dialysis. Many patients have taken immunosuppressive medications and

have other diseases, such as hepatitis C. Four of the five FDA-approved

Gadolinium contrast agents have been principally implicated in Nephrogenic

Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), including Omniscan, Multihance, Magnevist, and

OptiMARK.

What kind of testing would you do to prove you were harmed from

gadolidium contrast dye?

Re: [] contrast MRI

I believe there is a class action suit going on over the use of the

contrast dye in MRIs because it has harmed a lot of people. I had one

MRI, declined the contrast on principle (I do not put weird substances

in my body on purpose) and have been very happy I did so after I found

out about the lawsuit.

If a biotoxin has taken up residence in your brain it can decide to

lodge in your pituitary as well as anywhere else. Whoever said that

Shoemaker deals not with just mold but with biotoxin illness, was

completely correct. Reading Mold Warriors, if you can plough through

it, will make that clear.
