Have you had a MRI and had complications due to a gadolinium agent or dye?
Chronic pain and memory impairments linked to MRI Dye Gadolinium: A pubic statement issued by the FDA December 2017 stated a public safety announcement, stating it is “requiring several actions to alert health care professionals and patients about the gadolinium retention.”
What is Gadolinium?
Gadolinium contrast media (sometimes called a MRI contrast media, agents or ‘dyes’) are chemical substances used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Prior to scanning this dye is injected into the bloodstream to try and improve the quality of the MRI images. The contrast medium is injected intravenously (into a vein) as part of an MRI scan, and leaves the body usually in 24 hours through urination.
Depending on the patients condition the patients doctor, nurse or technologist will make the decision to use gadolinium. Pregnant patients or patients who have severe kidney diseases should not be given gadolinium. Some of the contrast media, agents or dyes are:
- Omniscan (gadodiamide)
- Dotarem (gadoterate meglumine)
- ProHance (gadoteridol)
- Magnevist (gadopentetate dimeglumine)
- Eovist (gadoxetate disodium)
- OptiMARK (gadoversetamide)
- MultiHance (gadobenate dimeglumine)
- Ablavar (gadofosveset trisodium)
- Gadavist (gadobutrol)
MRI Dye companies failed to warn the public about injury risks associated with the use of Gadolinium dyes.
Gadolinium lawsuits filed against manufacturers claim that patients developed NSF/NFD after a gadolinium injection. NSF/NFD is a rare disease that affects internal organs and the skin. People with kidney problems, including transplants with renal function issues, are at the highest risk for NSF/NFD. Those diagnosed with NSF/NFD suffer from symptoms including the following:
- Headaches
- Bone or Joint Pain
- Ligament or Tendon Pain
- Memory or Other Cognitive Impairments
- Pins & Needles or Burning Sensation on Skin
- Skin Thickening, Pain or Discoloration
NSF/NFD can be fatal for some people or can lead to a debilitating disability. NSF/NFD does not have a cure accounting too many top medical clinics and treatments currently available have not been effective for everyone (1). Medical researchers are just beginning to acknowledge the existence of gadolinium-related disorders and so there is no known or established treatment for gadolinium deposition disease at this time.
Lawsuits are being filed across the country alleging that patients have suffered debilitating side effects after being administered a gadolinium contrast media, agents or dyes. Recent scientific studies support that the side effects reported in these lawsuits can be caused by gadolinium and that injuries are very serious and debilitating. More gadolinium toxicity lawsuits will be filed once more data is released on topic.
The FDA approves new medication guidelines for patient receiving gadolinium contrast media, agents or dyes prior to an MRI. Under these new guidelines, doctors are instructed to take into account the possibility of gadolinium remaining in the body after being the contrast media, agent or dye is administered. (2)
