What is medical studies n.f.d.?

Answer 1

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), also known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD), is a condition that, so far, has occurred only in people with kidney disease. There is no convincing evidence that NSF is caused by a medication, a microorganism, or by dialysis. There have been no cases identified prior to early 1997. At this point it appears NSF is a systemic disorder with its most prominent and visible effects in the skin. For this reason, Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis has been suggested as an equivalent terminology in those previously diagnosed with NFD, and is preferred in that it more accurately reflects our current understanding of the disorder.
