Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis: a review
J Drugs Dermatol.
2010 Jul.
Abstract
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a recently described, debilitating systemic disease most commonly seen in patients with renal insufficiency. Exposure to gadolinium-containing contrast agent has been associated with the onset of symptoms. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, histolopathology, differential diagnosis and treatment will be reviewed. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion in susceptible individuals.
