Medical - Medical (general) / MRI scanning
Hebrew term or phrase: העלול לגרום למוות ומכונה לַיֶּפֶת מערכתית כלייתית (NSF).
דווח על מקרים של מצב רפואי חמור, העלול לגרום למוות ומכונה לַיֶּפֶת מערכתית כלייתית (NSF).

They talk about Adverse Reactions to Gadolinium Contrast Agents and the sentence above is about the reports of death cases.

I can't see a clear connection between the first and second part of the sentence.

Thanks in advance.
