With regard to systemic sclerosis, negative results for antinuclear, anticentromere and anti-Scl-70 antibodies as well as a lack of dermal and perivascular inflammation on the biopsy made this ...

Jefferson researchers to investigate mechanisms involved in nephrogenic systemic fibrosis Researchers at the Jefferson Institute of Molecular Medicine were awarded almost $384,000 by the National ...

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), a systemic fibrosing disorder, was first recognized in 1997 and described as a new disease in 2000.

A recent study shows how one medical center implemented strict protocols for administering gadolinium-based contrast agents before imaging and eliminated new cases for nephrogenic system fibrosis.

Owing to their experience of caring for patients with scleroderma and other systemic fibrosing disorders, rheumatologists are ideally suited to diagnose and treat patients with NSF Between 1997 ...

Even at very high doses, gadolinium-based contrast agents alone are not sufficient to cause nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with kidney problems, according to a study performed at ...

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) is a rare and serious disease which involves fibrosis of the skin, joints, eyes and internal organs. Though its cause is not fully understood, doctors have ...

A particular enzyme could explain how exposure to contrast agents used during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could result in nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).

Thirst is powerful! This notion is dramatically illustrated by the drinking behavior of children with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (also known as arginine vasopressin resistance) — a condition ...

Procollagen staining was not performed. These biopsy results were interpreted as being consistent with a diagnosis of nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD).

Based on the information we have about NSF—advanced kidney disease as a risk factor, GBCA as a trigger, and several potential cofactors—one can put forth reasonable clinical practice ...
