Gadolinium, a metallic contrast dye that is injected in patients undergoing metallic resonance imaging (MRI), has recently been linked to a rare skin disorder in patients with kidney troubles. Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis can lead to burning, itching, stiffening, or discoloration of the skin. Doctors think the condition may be under-diagnosed in kidney patients who have undergone MRIs with contrast dyes.
