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.
