Contact a Gadodiamide Lawyer

Intended to help physicians view a clear picture of a patient’s internal organs, bones and tissues during an MRI or MRA, Gadodiamide is a dye that is injected into a patient’s veins. A mounting number of lawsuits involving the dye have surfaced, however, since it has been linked to the development of a serious skin disorder known as Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NFS) or Nephrogenic Fibrosing Dermopathy (NFD).

What is NSF?

NSF is a progressive disorder that can result in thickened, rough skin that can make it difficult for affected patients to move their limbs. If left untreated, NSF can be fatal. If you or a loved one has experienced any of the following symptoms after undergoing a MRI or MRA, you should check to see if Gadodiamide was used. If so, it is important to see your doctor immediately to make sure you get the appropriate treatment. And, after getting medical attention, you should also consider consulting an attorney who can help you seek and recover compensation for your losses.

Common Symptoms of NSF

Symptoms to look out for after undergoing a MRI or MRA include:

• Burning, itching or swelling of the skin
• Hardening or tightening of the skin
• Red or dark patches
• Yellow spots on the whites of the eyes
• Stiffness in the joints
• Trouble straightening or moving the arms, legs, hands or feet
• Hip pain
• Weak, tired muscles

Symptoms will typically show themselves two days to 18 months following a Gadodiamide injection.

Compensation May be Available for Your Injuries

Anyone who has suffered from NSF after being injected with a Gadodiamide-based contrast medium will likely have a legal claim. Compensation for losses including physical pain, emotional trauma and financial damages (i.e. medical and treatment costs) may be sought.
