Treating gadolinium exposure
Hi folks,
I have some interesting medical demographics in my area – one being a group of patients who report they suffer from gadolinium poisoning via routine MRI with contrast exposure. A few can show objective lab findings with elevated/detectable levels (usually with other metal involvement). Most of them seek chelation therapy, though, when looking into this practice it seems still a lot like the Wild West of medicine.
Wondering if anyone here has any experience treating this? Would love to have a deeper conversation with you. Quick thoughts and resources very welcome as well.
Thanks all!

As a patient I’ve had gadolinium contrast imaging done once before and I have read that when they give it to you it is supposed to be in a chelated form to prevent poisoning. I’ve never had a test done to check for poisoning. I’m curious to know more about the test that one does to check, what the patients are experiencing for symptoms, and how much exposure they’ve had (you said routine, does this mean they routinely have this done?)
👍 very interested in hearing more as well.

NCHR Report: The Health Risks of MRIs with Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents
MRI patients need to know the risks and concerns about the long-term health effects of gadolinium contrast agents before agreeing to MRIs with contrast.
