Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis care at Mayo Clinic

• Your Mayo Clinic care team. Typically, a kidney specialist (nephrologist) and a skin disease specialist (dermatologist) work together to treat nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. But because this disease can affect many different body systems, Mayo Clinic's multidisciplinary approach allows quick consultation with other specialists as needed.
• Experienced care. Even though nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is uncommon, Mayo Clinic doctors have the expertise and experience to diagnose and treat this uncommon disease. Radiologists at Mayo Clinic are skilled at finding alternatives to gadolinium-based contrast agents in people at risk of the disease who need imaging tests.
• Care at Mayo Clinic revolves around you. A detailed itinerary for appointments, tests and procedures helps make the most of your time at the clinic. Tests and labs are run at Mayo Clinic, which means tests done in the morning can often be reviewed the same afternoon.
