MRI Dye, Gadolinium Possibly Linked To Skin & Kidney Problems
According to experts, the MRI contrast, Gadolinium has been connected to a rash of skin diseases and kidney related problems, this according to an October 25, 2008 study.
MRI's are routinely administered to help doctors diagnose various medical conditions. The MRI contrast and in many cases Gadolinium, is typically injected into someone prior to the MRI and is designed to light up the particular area of the body during the test to help the Radiologist and treating doctors see the problematic area more clearly to provide better diagnoses and treatment to the patient.
However, Gadolinium is causing an unfortunate onset of skin conditions and conditions usually seen in kidney patients that adversely affect the joints and eyes. At the urging of the FDA, the maker of Gadolinium has begun to include a warning label on the packaging of the allegedly defective product.
If you or a loved one has been injured or adversely affected by Gadolinium or any other defective product in Atlanta, anywhere in Georgia or the United States, I would invite you to please visit my websites www.samlevine.com, www.atlantinjurylawyer.net or contact my law office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.
