  • Title: Imatinib in the treatment of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
    Author: Chandran S, Petersen J, Jacobs C, Fiorentino D, Doeden K, Lafayette RA.
    Journal: Am J Kidney Dis; 2009 Jan; 53(1):129-32. PubMed ID: 19012999.
    Abstract:
    Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a disabling progressive condition that is being reported with increased frequency in patients with kidney disease. Treatment is extremely limited and largely supportive. We report a case of severe nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in a dialysis patient exposed to multiple doses of gadolinium who improved clinically and histologically with treatment with imatinib.
