Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) is a cutaneous disorder characterized by widespread tissue fibrosis. Although the exact physiopathology is still unknown, emergence of NSF has been linked with gadolinium based contrast media (GBCA). The Pro-FINEST study was supported by the French societies of dermatology, nephrology and radiology, and the university seminars of nephrology. The study was sponsored by the French drug agency (ANSM) and the French society of radiology. It aims at determining the prevalence of NSF after a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination, with or without GBCA, in chronic dialysis patients.
