| ==Overview== | | ==[[Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy overview|Overview]]== |
| '''Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy''' or '''nephrogenic systemic fibrosis''' is a rare and serious [[syndrome]] that involves [[fibrosis]] of skin, joints, eyes, and internal organs. Its cause is not fully understood, but it seems to be associated with exposure to [[gadolinium]] (which is frequently used as a contrast substance for [[MRI]]s) in patients with severe [[renal failure|kidney failure]]. It does not have a genetic basis.

| In NFD, patients develop large areas of hardened skin with fibrotic nodules and plaques. Flexion contractures with an accompanying limitation of range of motion can also occur. NFD resembles [[scleromyxedema]] at the histologic (microscopic) level; it shows a proliferation of dermal [[fibroblast]]s and [[dendritic cells]], thickened [[collagen]] bundles, increased [[elastic fiber]]s, and deposits of [[mucin]]. <ref> Scheinfeld, NS; Cowper, S; Kovarik, CL; Butler, DF.

|
| Most patients with NFD have undergone [[hemodialysis]] for renal failure, some have never undergone dialysis and others have received only [[peritoneal dialysis]]. Many patients have taken [[immunosuppressant|immunosuppressive]] medications and have other diseases, such as [[hepatitis C]]. Four of the five [[FDA]]-approved gadolinium contrast agents have been principally implicated in NFD, including [[Omniscan]], [[Multihance]], [[Magnevist]], and [[Gadoversetamide|OptiMARK]].

|
| The European authorities have classified the gadolinium-containing contrast agents in three groups:<ref>http://www.mhra.gov.uk/home/idcplg?IdcService=GET_FILE&dID=35149&noSaveAs=0&Rendition=WEB</ref>
| | ==[[Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy causes|Causes]]== |
| *Least likely (safest) to release free gadolinium ions Gd3+ in the body have a cyclical structure: Dotarem, Gadovist and ProHance
| |
| *Intermediate have a ionic linear structure: Magnevist, MultiHance, Primovist and Vasovist
| |
| *Most likely to release Gd3+ have a linear non-ionic structure: Omniscan and OptiMARK
| |
|
| |
|
| It can be noted that this classification was released after another proposition would have left the safest category (ionic cyclical structure) with only one agent (Dotarem). The intermediate category would have been either ionic linear structure or non-ionic cyclical structure. The third category most at risk was unchanged (linear non-ionic).<ref>http://www.ismrm.org/special/EMEA2.pdf</ref>
