About

The objective of this long term study is to prospectively compare the incidence of NSF in two cohorts (Cohort 1- patients with moderate chronic kidney disease eGFR 30-59 and Cohort 2- patients with severe chronic kidney disease or kidney failure eGFR <30).

Enrollment: 172 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

COHORT 1

• Is going to receive or has received PROHANCE injection during an MRI examination;
• Has CKD with eGFR stably comprised between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73m2, as calculated from a SCr value obtained from the local laboratory within 24 hours prior to the PROHANCE injection.
• Provides written informed consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements.

OR

COHORT 2

• Is going to receive or has received PROHANCE injection during an MRI examination;
• Has CKD with eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73m2, as calculated from a SCr value obtained from the local laboratory within 24 hours prior to the PROHANCE injection.
• Provides written informed consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements.

Exclusion criteria

COHORT 1

• Has received a GBCA within the past 12 months prior to inclusion in this study;
• Has unstable kidney function;
• Has any medical condition or other circumstances which would significantly decrease the chances of obtaining reliable data and achieving study objectives;
• Has ever been suspected of, or diagnosed with, NSF prior to the study-specific MRI;
• Is unable or unwilling to return for necessary office visits, to be examined by dermatologists or to undergo deep skin biopsy should development of NSF be suspected.

Trial design

172 participants in 2 patient groups

1

Description:

patients with moderate CKD (stage 3, according to the classification of CKD by the National Kidney Foundation, i.e., with eGFR comprised between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73m2)

2

Description:

patients with severe CKD or kidney failure (stages 4 and 5, according to the classification of CKD by the National Kidney Foundation, i.e., with eGFR stably below 30 mL/min/1.73m2).
