How to Test for Gadolinium Poisoning
- 1). Consult with a doctor about getting a punch skin biopsy.
- 2). Allow a medical professional to perform the punch skin biopsy. This is done on an outpatient basis under a local anesthetic. A very small sample of your skin is removed with a "punch instrument" and then analyzed to determine whether you suffer from NSF/NSD.
- 3). Discuss the results with your doctor.
- 4). Consider various treatment options. Unfortunately, NSF/NSD is not curable, and there are no consistently successful treatment options. However, some treatments have worked in certain patients.
- 5). Understand the importance of early treatment. As reported by Mayo Clinic, "NFS/NFD can start and progress quite quickly, and then stop within a few months. But in that time it can cause severe disability, even death."
