Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Lawsuit Michigan

Many people who believe they are suffering from Scleroderma may actually have a disease called Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (often referred to as NSF).  The diseases can easily be mistaken for each other.  NSF skin changes often mimic systemic sclerosis (although NSF usually does not affect the face).

NSF is caused by a reaction to certain MRI contrast dyes containing a material called Gadolinium.  There may be many misdiagnosed or undiagnosed NSF cases across the country, and time is running out to bring a legal claim.  If you have had an MRI and suffer from some of the skin symptoms listed below, you should contact an NSF Attorney or NSF Lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your legal rights.

About Scleroderma

Scleroderma is a skin disease that affects over 300,000 people in the United States.  It is usually characterized by the thickening, hardening, or tightening of the skin.

Some of the most common symptoms of scleroderma include skin changes, Raynaud’s Phenomenon, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

What to Look For:

Systemic scleroderma (limited scleroderma, CREST Syndrome) is often characterized by the following:

Thick patches on the skin
Swollen fingers
Swollen hands
Leathery or wooden skin
Tight skin around the face
Shiny looking skin

Other symptoms:

Joint pain
Reduced lung function
Difficulty breathing
Elevated or high blood pressure

There are a variety of medications for people suffering from scleroderma which include but are not limited to:

For Localized Scleroderma:

Hydroxychloroquine sulfate
Methotrexate
Prednisone
Phenytoin
Potassium p-aminobenzoate
d-penicillamine
PUVA (photherapy)

For Systemic Scleroderma:

Mycophenolate mofetil
Cyclosporine
Cyclophosphamide
Methotrexate
d-penicillamine

Many people who suffer from scleroderma may end up seeing several medical professionals such as a Rheumatologist (a doctor that specializes in diseases of the joints, bones and muscles) and a Dermatologist (skin specialist).
