Iowa GranuFlo Lawsuit Lawyers

Coping with kidney failure is serious and patients who receive treatment not only have much courage, but also strength. Nevertheless, when faced with the
debilitating side effects of a defective drug used to treat kidney problems, the challenges that result may be difficult to overcome alone.

If you or a loved one has been severely injured due to a defective drug like GranuFlo, please contact Hope Law Firm at (515) 255-3559
to learn more about your legal options and rights. You may be compensated for medical expenses if a pharmaceutical manufacturer is responsible
for negligence of informing patients of the common risks of GranuFlo.

Risk Factors

GranuFlo is a medical drug for hemodialysis treatment, which is a common method used to treat kidney failure. GranuFlo is a dry acid concentrate that
becomes a component of dialysate, used to help neutralize acid build up in the blood stream.

During dialysis, GranuFlo and Naturalyte are diluted with purified water and combined with sodium bicarbonate to filter the patient’s blood. If components of
dialysate are combined incorrectly, this can pose a high risk of metabolic alkalosis for the patient. This can lead to the following side effects
associated with GranuFlo:

• Low Blood Pressure
• Hypokalemia
• Cardiac Arrhythmia
• Stroke
• Cardiopulmonary Arrest
• Death

Compensation for Losses

On March 29, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent an urgent Class I recall to all clinics and customers for the GranuFlo Acid Concentrate, after discovering that Fresenius
Medical Care (FMC) knew of the common side effects from GranuFlo, but neglected to inform, patients, doctors, or the FDA. Class I recalls are often associated
with products that can cause serious health consequences or death. If you have experienced any of the serious side effects of GranuFlo, you may be compensated
for the following:

• Medical Expenses – Any surgery, doctor visits, reoccurring
  pain, and any additional medical expenses associated with the risks of GranuFlo
  may be documented for reimbursement.
• Pain and Suffering – Being a victim of a defective drug has
  multiple repercussions, including pain and suffering and/or depression.
• Lost Wages – Undergoing injuries from a drug flaw can leave
  you unable to return to work immediately, especially if frequent pain is
  experienced.
• Wrongful Death–
  If you have lost a loved one from being exposed to GranuFlo during dialysis
  treatment, no amount of money can replace the pain you feel; however, you can be
  compensated for funeral and burial expenses, emotional distress, and loss of
  consortium.
