BACKGROUND Gadolinium (Gd)-based magnetic resonance contrast agents (GBMCA), including gadodiamide, have been identified as the probable causative agents of the serious disease, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). OBJECTIVES To investigate retained Gd-containing deposits in skin biopsies from patients with NSF and to determine their relative concentrations over time from administration of GB...
BACKGROUND In the past decade, more than 200 cases of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) have been identified, primarily among patients with advanced kidney disease. Multiple studies have suggested an association between gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) and NSF. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine this potential association. METHODS A systematic review of st...
BACKGROUND Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a debilitating and painful disorder with an increased stimulation of the connective tissue in the skin and systemic tissues. The disease is associated with exposure to gadolinium-based contrast agent used in magnetic resonance imaging in patients with renal impairment. METHODS The prevalence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis has so far never been det...
A 65-year-old female with biopsy-confirmed nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) received a kidney transplantation. Despite good kidney function, her symptoms continued to progress. Deferoxamine was administered intramuscularly at 500 mg/day and later 1000 mg/day after 1 week with no adverse effects. Urine excretion of gadolinium increased from 6.0 μg/day to 11.6 μg/day and subsequently to 13.0 μ...
IMPORTANCE A new condition, gadolinium-associated plaques (GAP), is reported in 2 patients. It is related to a particular type of gadolinium (gadodiamide) used for contrast-enhanced radiologic studies. OBSERVATIONS Erythematous plaques, 0.5 to 2.5 cm in diameter, were pruritic in one case and asymptomatic in a second case. Findings from the histopathologic examination revealed eosinophilic, c...
BACKGROUND Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare sclerosing skin condition associated with end-stage renal disease and gadolinium exposure. Therapy for NSF is challenging, with few options other than preventing exposure to gadolinium and improving renal function through transplant. However, in some cases neither of these options is tenable. We report the successful use of UV-A1 photothe...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Recent studies strongly link nephrogenic systemic fibrosis to gadolinium administration for magnetic resonance imaging. In a recent advisory, the Food and Drug Administration stated that all gadolinium-containing chelates are potentially associated with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis; however, most reported cases are linked to gadodiamide (Omniscan) and gadopentetate di...
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare fibrosing disorder of the skin and joints that occurs in patients with advanced renal insufficiency. This condition is progressive and can be seriously disabling. Gadolinium based contrast agent (GBCA) has been identified as a potential cause of this condition. A 56-years-old man in hemodialysis developed stiffness and contracture of the whole limbs...
Infiltrative dermopathy is an uncommon manifestation of Graves' disease. The most frequent location of infiltration is the lower extremities, especially the pretibial areas and on the dorsum of the foot. Rarely the hand, elbow, arm, and forearm are affected. We report a 66-year-old man with Graves' disease of nine years duration who presented with dermopathy and nonpitting edema of the toe with...
Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) is a rare, recently described cutaneous fibrosing disorder that primarily affects patients with a history of renal disease [1]. Since the first report in 2000 by Cowper et al., about 100 cases of NFD have been described worldwide, and clusters have been observed in dialysis units and medical centres in the US, the UK and Switzerland. The disorder is not li...
