You or a loved one may have had a recent visit with a physician for a needed MRI scan. Chances are, if you have a history of kidney problems, your health and life have already been put in danger due to the injection of MRI dye, which contains gadolinium. MRI dye is actually a naturally occurring agent excreted from the human body.
But the injection itself can cause you to contract symptoms anywhere from several days to 18 months after your diagnosis. Since the dye"s manufacturer is now required by the FDA to warn you and your physician of such dangers with black-box labels, you can and should file a claim with a gadolinium lawyer as soon as possible.
The time you have to do this is limited according to your state"s laws. If you were given an MRA, which has not been approved, instead of an MRI, it is possible that you will also be able to file a gadolinium lawsuit against the one who gave you the initial treatment.
While there are no known cures for NSF or NFD, which contract gadolinium side effects, one possible way to fight them is to have a physician expose a sample of your blood to a sample of ultraviolet light, then inject it back into your bloodstream. These illnesses are very rare and almost entirely preventable.
Symptoms to look for, which will likely be important to tell your gadolinium lawyer, include hardened skin, stiffness, lack of mobility or flexibility, bone pain, muscle weakness, discolored skin, burning, itching, yellow spots on your eyes, and possible hypertension. If you have a severe case of the illnesses, it is likely that you are unable to walk and must go about in a wheelchair.
You should select at least two or three ideal candidates for a gadolinium lawyer to interview for credentials, proving that they will not only represent you accurately but also resolve your case in a timely manner. If you are charged contingency fees that depend on the case"s success, you will not have any immediate financial burdens related to the legal process. Expect your gadolinium lawyer to spend many months fighting your battles.
The dangers of MRI dye became public knowledge only very recently, and a great deal of uncertainty still surrounds the issue. There are at least five brands of the dye in use and you may find it helpful to ask your physician which of them was used.
