MRI Side Effects
Recently gadolinium based MRI contrast dye has been found to cause serious patches of red skin, thick areas of skin, joint pain, muscle pain, yellow spots on eyes, blister like lesions, acne like pimples, hip and rib bone pain, renal & kidney failure, rib pain, hip bone pain and other serious symptoms of a rare fibrosing disease called Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) and Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NFD). The cause of NFD and NSF are not fully understood, but it seems to be associated with exposure to gadolinium used in MRIs and MRAs with contrast dyes. Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) by definition occurs with some renal failure, however many have never undergone dialysis and others have received only peritoneal dialysis. Recently, it also appears many NSF patients may not have any renal failure or kidney, liver failure.

NOTE: While many believe that the MRI dye recall should be ordered by the FDA, patients are still receiving MRI's & MRA's with gadolinium contrast dye, except that new warnings are now given to patients needing MRIs and MRAs with gadolinium contrast dye. As of Jan 2008, no MRI Dye Recall has been ordered by the FDA.
MRI Side Efffects - Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF)
Patients with NSF often develop large areas of hardened skin with fibrotic nodules and plaques, reddened skin, muscle tightening, muscle weakness, joint pain and burning in joints along with itchy, thick areas of skin, usually on one's limbs. Flexion contractures can also occur with an accompanying limitation of range of motion. No many doctors and patients, Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) can resemble resembles scleromyxedema, because it shows has a proliferation of dermal fibroblasts and dendritic cells, thickened collagen bundles and an increase of elastic fibers.
MRI Contrast Dyes with Gadolinium
According to the FDA, Four of the five approved Gadolinium contrast agents (dyes) have been principally implicated in Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), including Omniscan, Multihance, Magnevist, and OptiMARK.
MRI Side Effects Injuries & Lawsuits
If you had a MRI or MRA with a Gadolinium-based contrast dye was used to enhance the MRI image and you have been diagnosed with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NFD), or currently suffer from MRI related skin problems including: skin tightening, muscle contractures, dark botches of skin, reddened areas of skin, thickened areas of skin or lesion like disorders, hip pain, bone pain, rib cage pain, severe joint problems, kidney failure, or renal failure, then you may be eligible to file a MRI Side Effects Lawsuit.
