GranuFlo and NaturaLyte Kidney Dialysis Recall

Injured by Dangerous Medication?

GranuFlo and NaturaLyte are acid concentrates produced by Fresenius Medical Care. The medications are used in dialysate, which is administered to patients undergoing kidney dialysis. Unfortunately, GranuFlo and NaturaLyte can significantly increase the chances of a cardiac event, including a potentially fatal heart attack.

Evidence indicates that Fresenius Medical Care was aware of the potential dangers of GranuFlo and NaturaLyte but failed to take action to warn the majority of dialysis clinics throughout the United States. In March of 2012, the FDA issued a Class I Recall Notice providing warning but many patients had already suffered life-threatening or fatal complications by this time.

Those who were harmed by GranuFlo or NaturaLyte or individuals who lost loved ones due to the dangerous medications may have a legal claim against Fresenius Medical Care. Rash Mueller is representing injured victims in GranuFlo and NaturaLyte kidney dialysis recall cases against Fresenius Medical Care to obtain monetary compensation. Attorney Rash has been named among the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in the United States and has been recognized among South Florida’s Top Lawyers for mass tort litigation.

GranuFlo and NaturaLyte Complications

GranuFlo and NaturaLyte convert to bicarbonates in the body, which can cause an overdose of bicarbonates in many patients. A bicarbonate overdose can cause metal alkalosis, which is a condition of elevated pH levels. Complications associated with metal alkalosis include:

  • Irregular heart-beat
  • Cardiac arrest
  • Confusion
  • Light-headedness
  • Dizziness
  • Low blood pressure
  • Muscles that twitch or spasm
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Hypoexmia (low oxygen levels)
  • Hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide levels)
  • Hypokalemia (low potassium)
  • Death

Evidence indicates that Fresenius may have been aware of the dangers of GranuFlo and NaturaLyte as far back as 2003 at the time when the drugs were approved. By November of 2011, it was clear that Fresenius knew of these complications since more than 900 patients had experienced cardiac events in the company’s own dialysis clinics.

Fresenius warned of the risks in an internal memorandum sent to the company’s 1,800 dialysis clinics in the U.S., which treated more than 138,000 patients. Unfortunately, as many as 125,000 patients who were treated at independent clinics did not receive a warning. Therefore, these dialysis patients continued to be exposed to dangerous medications long after the dangers were recognized.

    "My case was complicated to move forward due to other reasons..but she ain’t never let me down when speaking to her!"
    When I say..you’ve reached the right people..ur lucky to be in contact with them!! Although they couldn’t help me with my case..Leading up to the decision lori kept in contact, showed empathy, was straight forward with all detail! Lori told me more than my own drs or the hospital did..I have closure because of HER! So I still won! My case was complicated to move forward due to other reasons..but she ain’t never let me down when speaking to her! She speaks to you as if she knew you forever! I appreciate this firm so much because before they say NO..they try, the listen and the put work in!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!

    "I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude."
    From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.
