GranuFlo® and NaturaLyte® are dialysates used during kidney dialysis to remove wastes from the blood of patients with acute or chronic renal failure.  The use of GranuFlo® and NaturaLyte® has been reported in some cases to lead to a blood condition called "alkalosis," which can lead to low blood pressure and even cardiac arrest1
