Every year over sixty-five thousand people succumb to kidney failure. Dialysis acts as an artificial kidney, sustaining life for many Americans who would die without the treatments. However, there are thousands of documented incidents of kidney dialysis errors every year in the United States.

Hundreds of thousands of people must undergo kidney dialysis to stay alive, but these treatments are not without risk. Serious injuries and deaths have occurred unnecessarily because of medical negligence during kidney dialysis treatments.

Kidney dialysis errors typically involve medication errors, patient falls, vascular access-related incidents, dialyzer errors, excess loss of blood or prolonged bleeding, dialysis machine leaks, malfunctioning machine alarms, failure to clear cleaning solutions from dialysis machines, failure to properly monitor blood pressure and other vital signs and bloodstream infections due to contaminated lines or machinery.
