(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 03, 2009 ) New York, NY - 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 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.
