Of two patients with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis after exposure to the macro-cyclic gadolinium-based agent gadobutrol, which has previously been considered as carrying a low risk compared with the linear agents, one had chronic kidney disease stage 3 and had been exposed to 17.5 ml of contrast and the other had been exposed... 

Gadolinium-based contrast agents were associated with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in 2006. The linear chelates, and especially gadodiamide, are most commonly implicated. The macrocy-clic agents are regarded as relatively safe.
