Are you or a family member suffering from side effects after having received a dialysis treatment using Granuflo in Nevada? Due to the serious injuries and possibility fatalities in may cause, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a class 1 recall on Granuflo in June 2012. In May 2012, the FDA had first warned doctors and health care professionals about the increased risk of excessive alkaline chemicals in the dialysates. Since the product manufacturers had failed to warn of the increased risks when using their product, there have been many people coming forward to file a legal case against them.
The following cities in Nevada are included:
- Boulder City
- Carlin
- Carson City
- Las Vegas
- Reno
- North Las Vegas
- Henderson
- Fallon
- Elko
- Sparks
- Mesquite
- Caliente
Granuflo is a dry concentrate, and NaturaLyte is a liquid concentrate. When mixed together with purified water, and combined with sodium bicarbonate, it is supposed to help cleanse a patients bloodstream and replicate the function of their kidneys. However, these dialysis products put patients at a high risk for overdose when the dialysates are not mixed properly.

- Low blood pressure
- Stroke
- Death
- Metabolic alkalosis
- Heart problems
