Skin Tightening - Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Symptoms
Patients with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) describe swelling and tightening of the skin, usually limited to the extremities, but sometimes involving the trunk. Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) may develop over a period of days to several weeks. In many cases, the skin thickening inhibits the flexion and extension of joints, resulting in contractures. Severely affected patients with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) may be unable to walk, or fully extend the joints of their arms, hands, legs, and feet. Complaints of muscle weakness are common with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF). Approximately 5% of patients have a rapidly progressive course.
Skin Rashes and Pains - Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Symptoms
Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) causes the skin to change, startinng with reddened or darkened patches, papules, or plaques. In time, the skin may feel "woody" and the surface may resemble the texture of the peel of an orange. Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) patients may experience burning, itching, or severe sharp pains in areas of involvement. Radiography may reveal calcifications of the soft tissue. Deep "bone pain" has been described in the hips and in the ribs.
Diagnosing Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF)
Diagnosis of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) is done by looking at a sample of skin under a microscope. Patients with Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) have tight and rigid skin making it difficult to bend joints. Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) may also result in fibrosis, or scarring, of body organs. Fibrosis of internal organs can lead to death if the body's organs are incapable of working properly.
Gadolinium Lawsuit and Contrast Dye Lawsuits
If you had a MRI/MRA and a Gadolinium-based contrast dye, medium, or agent was used to enhance the MRI image, then your health may be at risk. If you developed Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NFD), skin problems, skin tightening, severe joint problems, kidney failure, or renal failure, then you may be eligible to collect money damages for your injuries.
