If you have been receiving medical care for some time for chronic kidney disease, and if you had an MRI or an MRA with an injected dye beforehand, then you may be at risk. So far, NSF has only been diagnosed in people with chronic kidney disease. If you have had no MRIs or MRAs done, you are not at risk, but should mention the risk possibility to your doctor if he decides to prescribe an imaging procedure for you.

Yes, it's a progressive disease and can eventually be fatal. It causes excessive growth of connective tissue. On the skin, this would not be fatal, although it can cause difficulty with use of your legs and arms, as the skin becomes so hard that flexion and extension become impossible. But NSF also affects internal organs. If it progresses far enough in causing hardening in the kidneys, renal failure could happen, which would be fatal. It could also fatally impair functioning of the lungs.

You should immediately contact your doctor. If you have chronic kidney disease, these symptoms will only get worse, and should be reported as soon as possible. If you don't have chronic kidney disease, but have had one or more MRIs or MRAs, you should also consult your doctor. Perhaps you were given a contrast agent containing Gadolinium, although this would be more likely if you were being treated for kidney disease. Your doctor won't be expecting to see NSF in a patient with no kidney disease.

Not necessarily. Manufacturers need to pay for NSF certification and annual re-certification. Some manufacturers choose not to go through this expensive and recurrent process for at least some of their products. This is why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommended that Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, whether or not NSF-certified, can be used to remove cryptosporidium: see Preventing Cryptosporidiosis: A Guide to Water Filters and Bottled Water.

Leveraging Your NSF Certification: Now that you've received NSF Certification ... why not leverage the Mark to your advantage.

A primary consideration was to encourage students who are of ethnic or cultural heritage underrepresented in these types of research projects to apply and participate in the fieldschool.
