Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Lawsuit Oklahoma
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.
