PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) in renal
impairment is controversial, with physician and patient apprehension in acute
kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and dialysis because of
concerns regarding nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). The position that GBCA
are absolutely contraindicated in AKI, category G4 and G5 CKD (estimated
glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 30 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), and dialysis-dependent
patients is outdated and may limit access to clinically necessary
contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. This review and
clinical practice guideline addresses the discrepancy between existing Canadian
guidelines regarding use of GBCA in renal impairment and NSF. SOURCES OF
INFORMATION: Published literature (including clinical trials, retrospective
cohort series, review articles, and case reports), online registries, and direct
manufacturer databases were searched for reported cases of NSF by class and
specific GBCA and exposed patient population. METHODS: A comprehensive review was
conducted identifying cases of NSF and their association to class of GBCA,
specific GBCA used, patient, and dose (when this information was available).
Based on the available literature, consensus guidelines were developed by an
expert panel of radiologists and nephrologists. KEY FINDINGS: In patients with
category G2 or G3 CKD (eGFR ? 30 and < 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), administration of
standard doses of GBCA is safe and no additional precautions are necessary. In
patients with AKI, with category G4 or G5 CKD (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) or on
dialysis, administration of GBCA should be considered individually and
alternative imaging modalities utilized whenever possible. If GBCA are necessary,
newer GBCA may be administered with patient consent obtained by a physician (or
their delegate) citing an exceedingly low risk (much less than 1%) of developing
NSF. Standard GBCA dosing should be used; half or quarter dosing is not
recommended and repeat injections should be avoided. Dialysis-dependent patients
should receive dialysis; however, initiating dialysis or switching from
peritoneal to hemodialysis to reduce the risk of NSF is unproven. Use of a
macrocyclic ionic instead of macrocyclic nonionic GBCA or macrocyclic instead of
newer linear GBCA to further prevent NSF is unproven. Gadopentetate dimeglumine,
gadodiamide, and gadoversetamide remain absolutely contraindicated in patients
with AKI, those with category G4 or G5 CKD, or those on dialysis. The panel
agreed that screening for renal disease is important but less critical when using
macrocyclic and newer linear GBCA. Monitoring for and reporting of potential
cases of NSF in patients with AKI or CKD who have received GBCA is recommended.
LIMITATIONS: Limited available literature (number of injections and use in renal
impairment) regarding the use of gadoxetate disodium. Limited, but growing and
generally high-quality, number of clinical trials evaluating GBCA administration
in renal impairment. Limited data regarding the topic of Gadolinium deposition in
the brain, particularly as it related to patients with renal impairment.
IMPLICATIONS: In patients with AKI and category G4 and G5 CKD (eGFR < 30
mL/min/1.73 m(2)) and in dialysis-dependent patients who require GBCA-enhanced
MRI, GBCA can be administered with exceedingly low risk of causing NSF when using
macrocyclic agents and newer linear agents at routine doses.
