Use of Intravenous Gadolinium-based Contrast Media in Patients with Kidney Disease and the Risk of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis: <i>Radiology</i> In Training
Mostafa Alabousi, Matthew S. Davenport
Abstract
A 66-year-old male patient with end-stage chronic kidney disease undergoing maintenance dialysis and with a history of group I intravenous gadolinium-based contrast media (GBCM) administration presented with clinical and pathologic findings consistent with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. A summary of the evidence and recommendations for use of intravenous GBCM in patients with kidney disease is presented. © RSNA, 2021.
