Lawyer Central has recently updated its Gadolinium Contrast
Dye resources, a comprehensive source of information that explains the medical
and legal issues currently surrounding MRI contrast agents containing
gadolinium. Gadolinium based contrast agents have been the subject of numerous
lawsuits that allege that the manufacturers of these products failed to warn
consumers about its risks and failed to adequately test them. As a result of
this alleged negligence on the part of gadolinium contrast dye manufacturers,
individuals with preexisting kidney conditions have been injected with
gadolinium contrast agents prior to undergoing MRIs. In some individuals, this
has led to the development of a rare and potentially fatal condition known as Nephrogenic
Systemic Fibrosis.

Gadolinium contrast agents enhance the quality of MRI images in order to help medical professional
detect abnormalities and make diagnoses. However, when MRI patients with kidney
problems are unable to flush the gadolinium out of their systems, prolonged
exposure to this toxic substance can have serious health consequences. Individuals
who are severely affected by Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) may be unable
to fully extend their arms, hands, legs and feet and lose mobility as a result.
Symptoms of this disease include hardening of the skin, joint stiffness, yellow
spots on the eyes, and muscle weakness. There is no known cure for NSF at this
time.
GE Healthcare, Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Tyco/Mallinckrodt and Bracco Diagnostics are the manufacturers of the five Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved gadolinium contrast agents currently available. Hundreds of NSF victims and their families have filed state and federal lawsuits against these makers of gadolinium contrast dyes for their injuries. Visit Lawyer Central today if you feel that you may be eligible to participate in a gadolinium lawsuit.
