What are the known side effects of GranuFlo and NaturaLyte?

A high serum bicarbonate level caused by an improper dose of GranuFlo / NaturaLyte during hemodialysis may contribute to metabolic alkalosis. This is a significant risk factor associated with a variety of blood irregularities, including low blood pressure, hypokalemia, hypoxemia and hypercapnia, which can cause cardiac arrhythmia. Cardiac arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat, if not appropriately treated, may lead to heart failure or heart attack (cardiopulmonary arrest).
