disease nsfThe Food and Drug Administration has received numerous reports of patients who have developed nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, or NSF, after being injected with gadolinium—a dye used in MRI and MRA scans. NSF is a serious condition that affects certain organ tissues, causing them to harden and impairing their function. It commonly affects the skin but may also affect internal organs. In some cases, the condition results in severe debilitation and even death.
