    Author: Khurram M, Skov L, Rossen K, Thomsen HS, Marckmann P.
    Journal: Scand J Urol Nephrol; 2007; 41(6):565-6. PubMed ID: 17934986.
    Abstract:
    Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a fibrotic disease seen in renal failure patients that may lead to severe physical disability. It has been demonstrated in recent studies that NSF can be caused by some gadolinium-containing MRI contrast agents. In this report we present one of a total of 26 cases of gadodiamide-related NSF from our hospital.
