Condition

Primary Outcome Measures:

To estimate and compare the incidence of NSF in the two cohorts defined. The incidence is defined for each cohort as the number of cases of NSF observed during the follow-up time period over the total number of eligible patients. [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA

Biospecimen Description:

Fixed tissue samples

Estimated Enrollment:	1000
Study Start Date:	February 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date:	March 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	March 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Groups/Cohorts
1 patients with moderate CKD (stage 3, according to the classification of CKD by the National Kidney Foundation, i.e., with eGFR comprised between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73m2)
2 patients with severe CKD or kidney failure (stages 4 and 5, according to the classification of CKD by the National Kidney Foundation, i.e., with eGFR stably below 30 mL/min/1.73m2).

Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No
Sampling Method:	Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

A total of 1000 patients in 2 cohorts who are going to receive or have received PROHANCE during an MRI examination as part of their routine clinical management. The cohorts are defined as:

COHORT 1-

600 patients of any age, with moderate CKD (stage 3, i.e., with eGFR stably comprised between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73m2);

COHORT 2-

400 patients of any age, with severe CKD or kidney failure (stages 4 and 5, i.e., with eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73m2).

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

COHORT 1

Is going to receive or has received PROHANCE injection during an MRI examination;
Has CKD with eGFR stably comprised between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73m2, as calculated from a SCr value obtained from the local laboratory within 24 hours prior to the PROHANCE injection.
Provides written informed consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements.

OR

COHORT 2

Is going to receive or has received PROHANCE injection during an MRI examination;
Has CKD with eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73m2, as calculated from a SCr value obtained from the local laboratory within 24 hours prior to the PROHANCE injection.
Provides written informed consent and is willing to comply with protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

COHORT 1

Has received a GBCA within the past 12 months prior to inclusion in this study;
Has unstable kidney function;
Has any medical condition or other circumstances which would significantly decrease the chances of obtaining reliable data and achieving study objectives;
Has ever been suspected of, or diagnosed with, NSF prior to the study-specific MRI;
Is unable or unwilling to return for necessary office visits, to be examined by dermatologists or to undergo deep skin biopsy should development of NSF be suspected.

OR

COHORT 2

Has received a GBCA within the past 12 months prior to inclusion in this study;
Has any medical condition or other circumstances which would significantly decrease the chances of obtaining reliable data and achieving study objectives;
Has ever been suspected of, or diagnosed with, NSF prior to the study-specific MRI;
Is unable or unwilling to return for necessary office visits, to be examined by dermatologists or to undergo deep skin biopsy should development of NSF be suspected.
