Someone suffering from kidney disease often have to undergo dialysis treatment. The type of kidney disease can range from kidney failure or anything related to renal function. Dialysis, due to the kidneys not functioning, filter the blood artificially as the kidneys are unable to. GranuFlo, and NaturaLyte, are chemicals used during dialysis to filter toxins and impurities from the blood. These chemicals, may cause heightened levels of bicarbonates in the bloodstream of the dialysis patient. This can lead to metabolic alkalosis and lead to cardiovascular diseases such as:
- Cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
- Cardiopulmonary arrest
- Heart attack
- Low blood pressure (hypotension)
- Stroke
- Death
