Something caused her problem, but I’m not sure Gd is the problem. With normal kidney function, the plasma half life of gadolinium is 90 minutes. 5 times 90, means Gd is gone in about 8 hours.

Do not fall for half life, then stop. Tissue life is the real issue and it is often incredibly longer than plasma half life.

"With normal kidney function, the plasma half life of gadolinium is 90 minutes. 5 times 90, means Gd is gone in about 8 hours."

Note "normal kidney function". Given the wide range of human variability, there may be different pathways to damage. An occasional idiosyncratic reaction is not unlikely.
