Skin Rashes and Pains - Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Symptoms

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) causes the skin to change, startinng with reddened or darkened patches, papules, or plaques. In time, the skin may feel "woody" and the surface may resemble the texture of the peel of an orange. Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) patients may experience burning, itching  or severe sharp pains in areas of involvement. Radiography may reveal calcifications of the soft tissue. Deep "bone pain" has been described in the hips and in the ribs. (See NSF Photos & Pictures)

Skin Tightening - Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Symptoms

Patients with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) describe swelling and tightening of the skin, usually limited to the extremities, but sometimes involving the trunk. Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) may develop over a period of days to several weeks. In many cases, the skin thickening inhibits the flexion and extension of joints, resulting in contractures. Severely affected patients with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) may be unable to walk, or fully extend the joints of their arms, hands, legs, and feet. Complaints of muscle weakness are common with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF). Approximately 5% of patients have a rapidly progressive course.
