GranuFlo Recall Attorneys
Someone suffering from kidney disease often have to undergo dialysis treatment. The type of kidney disease can range from kidney failure or anything related to renal function. Dialysis, due to the kidneys not functioning, filter the blood artificially as the kidneys are unable to. GranuFlo, and NaturaLyte, are chemicals used during dialysis to filter toxins and impurities from the blood. These chemicals, may cause heightened levels of bicarbonates in the bloodstream of the dialysis patient. This can lead to metabolic alkalosis and lead to cardiovascular diseases such as:
Cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
Cardiopulmonary arrest
Heart attack ok
Low blood pressure (hypotension)
Stroke
Death
In March 2012 the manufacturers of GranuFlo and NaturaLyte initiated a Class 1 recall which is the most severe classification. Class 1 recalls are only issued when a product is known to cause serious health issues and or death.
