Article Synopsis
- Conventional gadolinium-based contrast agents used in MRI are linked to Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) in patients with poor kidney function, prompting research into safer alternatives.
- A study introduced Gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (Gd2O3 NPs) coated with β-cyclodextrin to assess Gd biodistribution in rats with renal impairment, marking the first application of this method.
- Results indicated higher Gd concentrations in tissues from the new Gd2O3@PCD group without notable tissue damage, while showing that traditional agents like Omniscan led to worse histopathological outcomes compared to Dotarem.
