A member asked:

Which dialysis products can cause side effects such as heart attacks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Disease not Rx: It's easy to confuse the disease with the treatment: renal failure, even on dialysis, accelerates atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of heart attacks. It's the renal failure, not the dialysis that is the culprit.
