Study finds contrast agent in NSF patients' tissues
National report - A pilot study has identified gadolinium within the soft tissues of patients with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), formerly known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy.
This finding lends strong support to the suspected association between NSF and exposure to gadolinium-containing contrast in patients with severe renal failure, the authors say.
Researchers used a field emission scanning electron micros...
