Gadolinium MRI Dye Contrast
Gadolinium MRI dyes may increase the risk of a rare, but serious, disease called Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) in people with severe kidney failure, or renal insufficiency. Gadolinium NSF triggers thickening of the skin, organs, and other tissues. There is no effective treatment for this serious, debilitating disease.
Gadolinium is commonly used as a contrast dye to improve the quality of Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI's). Typically, the body breaks down the Gadolinium dye and expels it relatively quickly and easily. However, Gadolinium in patients that are suffering from renal failure, or any kidney-related medical condition, will have difficulty clearing the Gadolinium from their systems.
This results in a Gadolinium toxicity from the metal accumulating in skin and tissue, causing initial symptoms such as burning sensations, dark patches on the skin, pain and stiffness in the joints and hardening of the skin.

Gadolinium Side Effects & Gadolinium NSF
Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) is a relatively new disease. The first case was reported in 1997 but went unpublished for almost 3-years. In 2006, the FDA linked Gadolinium dyes to Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF). Little is known about how exactly this syndrome emerges and unfortunately there is no known treatment option yet.
Of all the Gadolinium Side Effects, Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is the most serious. Millions of patients who have been administered Gadolinium contrast dyes have unfortunate experiences with this disease. These Gadolinium side effects are potentially fatal because they can cause kidney failure and renal disease among other conditions.
NSF leaves patients unable to bend their joints and can spread to the diaphragm and internal organs where the condition can literally strangle patients from the inside. Gadolinium NSF is a disease of the nephrons in the kidney, which normally filter the blood. It has a wide variety of painful symptoms: patients may develop large areas of hardened skin with fibrotic nodules and plaques. Skin tightens and limits a person's range of motion, sometimes leaving them wheelchair-bound.
In the most severe cases, those treated with Gadolinium MRI dyes that develop NSF incur paralysis of their internal organs. Gadolinium NSF is a horrifying and permanently debilitating impairment that no one should have to suffer. Our firm specializes in personal injury lawsuits and has many successes involving Gadolinium side effects lawsuits.

Gadolinium Lawsuit Settlements & Claims
In 2007, the FDA issued Black Box Warning Labels for five Gadolinium dyes used to enhance MRI's. Aside from a recall, the Black Box Warning label is the next most serious action enforced by the FDA.
Since 2007, hundreds of Gadolinium lawsuits have been settled by GE and Bayer outside of court. Settlement amounts have been kept confidential. Some Gadolinium lawyers said they expect payouts to total in excess of $1 billion. GE Healthcare lawyers said that estimate was unreasonable.
Proposed Gadolinium side effects settlements average in excess of $1.5 million for families who have been harmed by Gadolinium MRI dye.
