Gadolinium deposition in nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy

Alan S Boyd et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2007 Jan.

Abstract

There is growing recognition of the association between the use of gadolinium-containing radiocontrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging and the serious dermal and systemic disease nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy/nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NFD/NSF). The pathogenesis of this entity remains unclear; however, our recent observations suggest a likely mechanism for the initial dermal manifestations of this gadolinium toxicity.
