Have you or a family member been experiencing side effects after receiving dialysis treatment using Granuflo in New Hampshire? Due to the serious injuries and possible fatality the dialysis product may cause, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a class 1 recall in June 2012. The FDA first warned doctors about the increased risk in May 2012, stating they needed to monitor their dialysis patients closely because the dialysis have a high likelihood to contain much more alkaline chemicals than they originally anticipated.
The following cities in New Hampshire are included:
- Manchester

Designed to help patients who are undergoing hemodialysis for the treatment of kidney failure, Granuflo is a dry concentrate. When mixed together with the liquid concentrate, NaturaLyte, it produces the final dialysis solution. This solution is diluted with water and then combined with sodium bicarbonate. However, when used in improper dosages, puts patients at a high risk for bicarbonate overdosing.
Reported side effects of Granuflo include:
- Low blood pressure
- Heart problems
- Heart attack
- Hypercapnia
- Hypokalemia
- Metabolic alkalosis
- Cardiopulmonary arrest
- Stroke
- Death
Since the product manufacturers of Granuflo had failed to warn of these serious risks for injury, many people have came forward to file a legal claim against them. You may be eligible to gain financial compensation for any pain, suffering, or medical expenses Granuflo might have caused you or your family.
