Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast and Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis
American Journal of Kidney Diseases published this case-control study evaluates nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), which occurs in those who suffer renal failure. It has been suggested that Gadolinium-based contrast which is used in magnetic resonance imaging may be a cause. This study addresses those suggestions. - Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast and Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis
