If you or a family member is now suffering from adverse side effects from a dialysis treatment using Granuflo in Maryland, you may have a legal claim against the manufacturers. As of May 2012, the FDA had issued a warning to doctors and other health care professionals which stated the importance of monitoring their dialysis patients closely. According to the statement, dialysis are much more likely to contain alkaline chemicals than originally expected. Last summer, in June 2012, the FDA had issued a class I recall on Granuflo, which stated it’s serious injuries and possible fatality risks. Since the product manufacturers, Fresnius Medical Care had failed to warn anyone about this increased risk when using their product, many have came forward filing claims against them for the pain and suffering it may have caused.
The following cities in Maryland are included:
- Columbia
- Baltimore

When someone uses Granuflo without the proper dosage, it is highly likely to end in cardiac arrest. Granuflo was made originally to help doctors in treating their patients who had chronic or acute kidney failure. Because of the mass amounts of alkaline that has been found in the bloodstream of these patients, it is likely to lead to metabolic alkalosis.
Many side effects of Granuflo have been reported including:
- cardiopulmonary arrest
- low blood pressure
- irregular heartbeats
- excessive amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood
- low potassium in the bloodstream
