Deposition patterns of iatrogenic lanthanum and gadolinium in the human body depend on delivered chemical binding forms

Recently, gadolinium from linear GBCAs has been reported to deposit in various regions of the body. Besides gadolinium, other lanthanides are used in medical care. In the current study, we investigated deposition of lanthanum in two patients who received lanthanum carbonate as a phosphate binder due to chronic kidney injury and compared it to additionally found Gd deposition. Tissue specimens of two patients with long-term application of...
