Are you or a family member now suffering serious adverse effects after a dialysis treatment using Granuflo or Naturalyte in Michigan? If you are one of the many people who are experiencing side effects, you may be eligible to file a claim against the manufacturers. The FDA stated in May 2012 a warning to doctors and other health care professionals, which stated that Granuflo was much more likely to contain types of alkaline chemicals than originally expected. As of June 2012, a class one recall had been issued on Granuflo, warning of the increased serious injuries and possible fatality. The two dangerous pharmaceuticals used in Granuflo are acid concentrates, which are diluted to become another component of dialysate. Dialysate is used to clean patients blood who are undergoing treatment of kidney failure. These products put patients at a much higher risk for bicarbonate overdose when dosages are mixed incorrectly.
The following areas in Michigan are included:
- Detroit
- Ann Arbor
- Lansing
- Sterling Heights
- Warren
- Grand Rapids
- Livonia
- Flint
- Dearborn
- Wyoming
- Southfield
- Westland
- Rochester Hills
Granuflo was designed to help patients with chronic and acute kidney failure. However, the mass amounts of alkaline that have been found in the bloodstream of these patients has a high likelihood of leading to metabolic alkalois. Because the product manufcaturers had failed to warn anyone of this ongoing increased risk, there have been many coming forward to file a legal claim against them. You may be eligible to gain financial compensation for the pain and suffering Fresenius’ Medical Care product may have caused you.
Other side effects reported of Granuflo include:
- Cardiac arrest
- Low blood pressure
- Low potassium in the bloodstream
- Excessive amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood
- Heart problems
- Stroke
- Death
