nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (EFO_1001814, an Experimental Factor Ontology entry) is a chronic, acquired, idiopathic, progressive eruption of the skin that occurs in the context of RENAL FAILURE. It is sometimes accompanied by systemic fibrosis. The pathogenesis seems to be multifactorial, with postulated involvement of circulating fibrocytes. There is a strong association between this disorder and the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents. Also known as: nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
