Dialysis
People have two kidneys that are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Healthy kidneys filter blood, removing wastes and extra water to make urine. When a person’s kidneys no longer function properly or fail entirely, dialysis is a common treatment. Dialysis keeps a patient’s body in balance by removing waste, salt and extra water from the blood to prevent them from building up in the body. It maintains safe levels of chemicals such as potassium, sodium, and bicarbonate in the patient’s blood as well as it helps to control blood pressure. Dialysis is usually performed in a dialysis facility, in a hospital, or at home.Â
GranuFlo
If you are one of the 130,000 American dialysis patients who received GranuFlo during dialysis and it caused you harm, there is a good chance you are entitled to compensation from the creator of this potentially harmful, sometimes even deadly drug, Fresenius Medical Care company. Risks that are associated with being administered GranuFlo include:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Death
Up until these dangerous side effects were realized, GranuFlo was the preferred dialysis product for many doctors because it eliminated the need to use liquid acid during dialysis, which can be harmful and dangerous.
