The US Drug Watchdog's Warns All Americans About Gadolinium-Medical MRI's- Kidney Disease & NSF
The US Drug Watchdog is warning all US citizens about a dye used in MRI's called Gadolinium, particularly for individuals who have kidney disease who were exposed to this dye, and who may now have an incurable medical condition called NSF. According to the group, "we think there could be literally thousands of US citizens who have had a MRI, where a dye called Gadolinium was used, that caused a horrible condition called NSF, and no one has ever heard of NSF. We fear that individuals with kidney disease, who have had a MRI in the last 10 years, where Gadolinium was used, may now have NSF, without ever knowing it." The symptoms of NSF include: Patients with NSF describe swelling and tightening of the skin. The skin thickening inhibits flexibility and extension of joints, resulting in contractures. Severely affected patients may be unable to walk, or fully extend the joints of their arms, hands, legs, and feet. Complaints of muscle weakness are common. If a person has had a MRI, where Gadolinium may have been used, and they have developed these symptoms, they should contact the US Drug Watchdog immediately at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
