In GranuFlo/NaturaLyte Recall Lawsuits, Patient Medical History Is Critical

By Andrea Gressman

 

GranuFlo recall lawsuitThere is an estimated 400,000 patients on dialysis in America that have possibly been affected by the GranuFlo and NaturaLyte 2012 recall. Both dialysis products are known to cause dangerous side effects such as hypoxemia and cardiac arrhythmia, which can potentially cause stroke, heart attack, and death. Resulting from this startling news, some patients who were affected have decided to consult a GranuFlo lawsuit attorney and file a medical care GranuFlo/NaturaLyte lawsuit against manufacturer Fresenius, while others seek settlements out-of-court.

Overdoses of GranuFlo and NaturaLyte May Lead to Serious Health Problems

GranuFlo and NaturaLyte both contain an active ingredient that converts to bicarbonate. Bicarbonate is used as a blood cleanser, which is a replacement for the natural kidney function called hemodialysis. Larger quantities of this ingredient are found in both GranuFlo and NaturaLyte that may be less in competing products, which has led to doctors giving out higher than normal doses to patients who use these products. Symptoms arising from an overdose of GranuFlo or NaturaLyte include hypoxemia, hypokalemia, low blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia, and hypercapnia.

Sudden Death May Result from GranuFlo and NaturaLyte Side Effects

Both products, GranuFlo and NaturaLyte, have been linked to side effects that are something to worry about at the very least. However, the true hazards of these products have the potential to be life-threatening or fatal. Problems relating to the heart, metabolic alkalosis, stroke, heart attack, and sudden death are the potentially fatal dangers linked with both GranuFlo and NaturaLyte.

Even with these alarming revelations, the real key to a successful GranuFlo and NaturaLyte lawsuit is to prove that the dialysis additive is the true and only cause for these dangerous side effects. To make that connection, GranuFlo and NaturaLyte lawsuit lawyers do examine the side effects. However, they also take into consideration the medical history of the patient. A patient with no medical history of these potentially dangerous GranuFlo and NaturaLyte side effects makes it much easier to prove that these products were the culprit in their resulting conditions.

Patients Look to Attorneys for GranuFlo or NaturaLyte Advice

A Class I recall was issued for both GranuFlo and NaturaLyte in early 2012, citing that the products were the cause of adverse side effects. As the news of the recall reached victims and surviving family members, some made a decision to consult a GranuFlo and NaturaLyte lawsuit attorney to seek legal action against the manufacturer. Some seek a trial by jury to gain compensation, while others seek an out-of-court settlement to gain compensation to offset medical expenses and other injuries incurred by the dangerous products. Individual GranuFlo and NaturaLyte lawsuit evaluations and a recommendation on a path to justice are best left to an experienced and highly qualified GranuFlo and NaturaLyte lawsuit attorney.
