It is similar to scleroderma and scleromyxedema but on distinct difference‚ NSF is caused by the exposure to gadolinium when patients with renal insufficiently are given gadolinium contrast for a MRI. Patients with NSF most likely develop large patches on the indurated skin with fibrotic nodules and plaques. Some patients develop flexion contractures with accompanying limitation of range of

They are separated by filtrate collecting capsular space) & renal tubule (Duct that leads away from the glomerular capsule and ends at the tip of the medullary pyramid). The renal tubule

producing mechanical stresses or indirectly by the collapse of cavitation bubbles (61). Although shock wave lithotripsy is the most common treatment for urolithiasis‚ it can have side effects‚it can cause acute renal injury (62). Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have demonstrated renal injury in 63-85% of patients treated with shock wave lithotripsy (63). A recent retrospective case study with 19 year follow-up noted an association between shock wave lithotripsy and the development of hypertension
