Fresenius GranuFlo Lawsuit | Fresenius Medical Care GranuFlo Lawsuit | Fresenius Medical Care NaturaLyte Lawsuit | Dialysis Treatment

Fresenius GranuFlo Lawsuit, Fresenius Medical Care GranuFlo Lawyer, Attorney | Fresenius Medical Care NaturaLyte Lawyer, Attorney | COMPLICATIONS : Cardiac Arrest, Heart Attack, Stroke, or Cardiovascular Death | Company : Fresenius Medical Care

An untold number of dialysis patients may have suffered life-threatening cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death after being administered Fresenius Medical Care’s GranuFlo or NaturaLyte products while undergoing hemodialysis. Fresenius Medical Care, a Germany-based operator of dialysis centers, may have violated federal regulations for failing to warn dialysis patients of a potentially lethal heart risk associated with its GranuFlo and NaturaLyte products. GranuFlo and NaturaLyte are used at dialysis clinics operated by Fresenius, as well as hundreds of independent facilities supplied by the company.

The leading law firm of Alonso Krangle LLP is currently investigating potential lawsuit claims on behalf of individuals who have experienced injury or loss due to a catastrophic heart event following administration of GranuFlo or NaturaLyte during dialysis treatment, including:

Cardiopulmonary arrest
Cardiac arrhythmia
Sudden heart attack
Stroke
Hemodialysis cardiopulmonary arrest

Alonso Krangle LLP is offering free lawsuit evaluations to anyone who suffered cardiac arrest or other serious, life-threatening heart side effects during a recent dialysis treatment. If you or someone you love experienced a cardiac event during hemodialysis, you may have been treated with either GranuFlo or NaturaLyte. To discuss your legal options, please contact the defective drug lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP today.

GranuFlo and NaturaLyte Heart Side Effects

Dialysis is a procedure that clears toxic waste from the blood in patients whose kidneys have failed. In dialysis, bicarbonate is administered to neutralize the acid that builds up in the blood. GranuFlo and NaturaLyte are alkaline products that contain acetate, which the body converts to bicarbonate. The products are administered to a patient in conjunction with bicarbonate. However, GranuFlo and NaturaLyte contain far more acetate than rival products, and thus result in more bicarbonate in the body. This can lead to alkalosis, a condition associated with an increase in cardiovascular events, including catastrophic cardiac arrest. In June 2012, The New York Times reported that more than 900 dialysis patients had experienced sudden cardiac arrest in 2010 while undergoing hemodialysis at hundreds of Fresenius clinics. An analysis conducted by the Fresenius medical staff concluded that patients with high levels of bicarbonate in their blood had about six times the risk of cardiac arrest as those with lower levels.

In November of 2011, Fresenius Medical Care sent an internal memo to doctors who practiced in the company’s dialysis centers, warning them that failure to properly use GranuFlo appeared to be contributing to a sharp increase in the risk of patients dying suddenly from cardiac arrest. The memo also stated: “In light of these troubling findings, doctors should take corrective action. Doctors were warned that they needed to address the matter “urgently.”

Despite the apparent urgency, Fresenius did not issue a similar warning at that time to any of the independent dialysis centers it supplied with GranuFlo and NaturaLyte. The company only did so in March 2012, after the FDA received a copy of the Fresenius internal memo from an anonymous source and contacted Fresenius Medical Care to inquire about it. The FDA is now investigating Fresenius to determine if it violated federal safety regulations by failing to warn its customer clinics of the serious heart risks posed by GranuFlo and NaturaLyte.

In June 2012, the FDA declared Fresenius Medical Care’s warning for GranuFlo and NaturaLyte a Class I recall. Class I recalls are the FDA’s most serious recall classification, and are only issued in cases where a product poses a serious risk of injury or death.

Express Our Thank You To You For The Wonderful Job You Did With Our Daughter’s Case

Dear Andres,

We wanted to express our thank you to you for the wonderful job you did with our daughter’s case. You are a true professional and we are thankful that you are the one who helped us all through this. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to have on our daughter’s side.

Strongly Recommend Alonso Krangle As a Highly Experienced And Respected Firm

I consulted a close friend and well respected lawyer in the mid-Atlantic region regarding my hip revision surgery due to a medical device recall. Without hesitation, he strongly recommended contacting Alonso Krangle LLP to discuss my case. In his view, Alonso Krangle possessed extensive knowledge and experience in the type of litigation my case required, as well the respect of those throughout the judicial field for their professionalism. Equally as important, their personal focus on each individual’s case gives the client a feeling they are their only concern. My friend’s assessment could not have been more accurate.

Although in New York, Alonso Krangle could not have been more responsive or accommodating if they were located here in Virginia. I cannot recall a single time when my wife or I called their office and did not speak to either Andres Alonso or David Krangle. They were always completely available and ready to answer any and all of our questions. Their advice and recommendations were always honest, sincere, and accurate enabling us to plan accordingly. Legal proceedings can be a long process, but we never felt left out or forgotten thanks to timely updates initiated by Alonso Krangle. In the end, everything turned out as Alonso Krangle estimated from the beginning. I could not have expected better personal attention or concern from a family member handling my case. As with my friend, I too, would not hesitate to strongly recommend Alonso Krangle as a highly experienced and respected firm that will treat you like family.

Dave Krangle Worked Restlessly On This Case Until We Won

I consider David Krangle as my attorney for many years now. Going back about 13 years ago my father was involved in a hit and run accident. David had gone the extra mile to win our case….. Mr. David Krangle worked restlessly on this case until we won the case. Since then, if anybody asks for a good attorney I recommend David Krangle with confidence. He has helped a number of my friends and relatives and they all appreciated his professionalism, prompt responses to any inquiry during case development, careful study of all details pertaining to their case. He treats his clients as family. Thank you, Mr. Krangle, wishing you a continued success, good health and prosperity.

Absolutely Instrumental in Helping Me Expose Medicare Fraud That My Former Employer Was Engaging In

When you have to fight Goliath you better call David. Dave was absolutely instrumental in helping me expose Medicare fraud that my former employer (one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world) was engaging in. Dave took the time to listen to my concerns and my evidence. He worked tirelessly to bring the best resources to table so that our case would be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted. In the end, the Goliath was defeated thanks to Dave!

We were very fortunate to meet David Krangle

My husband and myself had been involved in a multiple vehicle accident 5 years ago. At that time we were given the name of Mr. David Krangle, attorney. It took close to 5 years of very diligent work for Mr Krangle to complete our case to everyone’s satisfaction. During those years of endless hours and hours of work that he put into our case yet whenever we reached out to Dave (as the years allowed us to call him) he was always available to us. His patience did seem endless. His professionalism in researching everything to make our turnout perfect for us was everything we expected and let us rest knowing things are following the right path. I know we were treated with the utmost respect from various insurance companies and other attorney’s because that was something Mr Krangle made sure of. In difficult times it can be intimidating to work with a professional but we were very fortunate to meet David Krangle who had the ability to share warmth and compassion with us during a trying time. Those are traits that we admired in David Krangle and are delighted to have worked with him.

Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart For All Your Help

Andres,

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help. Tonight is the first night since January that I can finally breath a sigh of relief. Your determination and dedication to my case was by far beyond what I could ever imagined.

I was involved in an accident and needed a good Personal Injury Attorney. A friend referred me to David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. After my initial phone conversation with David, I was confident that I found the right Attorney. David was not only extremely thorough, he kept me updated on every stage of my case. Most importantly, he was always available for questions and followed-up promptly. In most cases, the same day. Since there was a 3-hour time zone difference, I was very appreciative from a client stand point.

With his expertise and guidance, I had a successful outcome. I felt very fortunate that David and his wonderful staff represented me.
