(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 01, 2007 ) Denver, CO -- LegalView.com, your complete online resource for everything legal, would like to inform readers that they can now find even more complete, accurate information on the troubling medical condition Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) at http://nephrogenic-systemic-fibrosis.legalview.com. NSF is a rare medical condition that has come to almost always be linked with exposure to the element gadolinium, an element that is present in radiocontrast dyes used during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Because NSF is still a fairly new condition, symptoms can be difficult for some doctors to diagnose. As a service to victims of NSF, LegalView.com is proud to announce the launch of much larger and more extensive collection of information and resources at the newly reformatted NSF & Gadolinium Information portal.First identified in 1997, NSF occurs only in a few patients -- those who have a serious kidney disease and have undergone MRI or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) tests. Many scientists believe NSF is caused by exposure to gadolinium, used as a dye in MRI/MRA tests, as argued in a January 2006 article published in the Oxford University Press’ journal Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation. In response, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already recommended that doctors avoid gadolinium, and MRI/MRAs in general, in patients with kidney failure. Researchers in the United States and Europe are working to determine whether the substance should be banned altogether.Visitors who would like to learn more about NSF, gadolinium exposure and related health concerns are invited to visit LegalView.com’s newly re-launched gadolinium NSF information portal. Recognizing that NSF will be a public health problem for decades, LegalView has established a collection of original articles on the disease; a glossary of terms; up-to-date news articles; FDA alerts; and jury verdicts and settlements. In addition to new features, such as detailed information about the companies that manufacture gadolinium dyes, as well as treatment resources, visitors to the NSF portal can utilize the free NSF lawyer referral service to find a NSF attorney in their state.The NSF portal is just part of LegalView's collection of free, comprehensive information on the legal issues important to Americans. Visitors with broader legal concerns can use LegalView.com’s many information portals to help them find a brain injury lawyer, a construction accident attorney, or a mesothelioma law firm. Along with the attorney referral services for these different issues, readers can find original, factual and clearly written information; the latest news and research, including blogs dedicated to a specific legal issue; government information and releases; and guides to relevant legal and medical terms.LegalView.com is a free service to the public, brought to you by Legal WebTV Network, LLC, a Limited Liability Corporation created by a group of highly respected national law firms: Anapol Schwartz; Brent Coon and Associates; Burg Simpson; Cohen, Placitella and Roth; James F.
