Check With Your Doctor on MRI Dye Side Effects

If you or a loved one you know have had kidney problems and recently visited your doctor for an MRI dye injection, you may automatically have a lawsuit which you can file as soon as you find the right attorney to help you. Under ordinary circumstances, your kidneys would be able to flush out the dye in a reasonable amount of time. Your diagnosis may have already caused you to contract symptoms of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis or nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NSF/NFD), and you should inform your attorney of which of these you have experienced.

Because these illnesses are very rare and almost entirely preventable, you may encounter many challenges in finding the right treatment. One possible way to fight your illness is to revisit your doctor to expose a sample of your blood to ultraviolet light and inject it back into your bloodstream.

An advantage you are likely to enjoy in filing a lawsuit in response to your symptoms is that you will be charged contingency fees, which only depend on the overall success of your case and are not up-front. You need only be sure to file your claim before the deadlines specified in your state's laws. If you like, you may contact your local or state elected officials for attorney advice. You should select at least two or three ideal candidates for an interview who can prove to have needed experience in the field of concern to handle your case properly.

MRI dye side effects include stiffness, hard skin, difficult movement, bone pain, weak muscles, discolored skin spots or lesions, itching, burning, yellow patches on the eyes, and possible hypertension. In severe cases, it is possible that you must go around in a wheelchair. Warnings of these symptoms, due to an FDA requirement, should already have been found on the label of the MRI dye that was used. There are at least five different types of dye in existence and you may find it helpful to ask which one was used, especially if you had an MRA scan instead (which has yet to be approved).

You cannot afford to have MRI dye side effects pose a threat to your life and future, regardless of whether you want to survive this medical crisis or regain what you may have already lost in finances. You may have much at stake when it comes to your possible compensation. Do whatever is necessary today to help put yourself and your loved ones at ease.
