How Does Toxicology Contribute to Understanding NSF?
Toxicology plays a critical role in understanding NSF by studying the toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of gadolinium. Research in this field helps elucidate the mechanisms by which gadolinium exerts toxic effects, informs safer clinical practices, and guides the development of alternative imaging agents with reduced toxicity. Additionally, toxicologists work to identify biomarkers that can predict the risk of NSF in susceptible individuals.
