Brief summary

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 to 59 and Cohort 2 - patients with severe chronic kidney disease or kidney failure eGFR \<30).

Inclusion criteria

COHORT 1 * Is going to receive or has received MULTIHANCE 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 MULTIHANCE injection. * Provides written informed consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements. OR COHORT 2 * Is going to receive or has received MULTIHANCE 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 MULTIHANCE 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. OR COHORT 2 * Has received a GBCA within the past 12 months prior to inclusion in this study; * 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.
