Iron Infusion Side Effects - Death
UpdatedHELP!!!
My dad recently went into his hematologist for his first iron infusion and had a severe reaction, causing him to immediately go into cardiac arrest, and pass away. My family is at a loss and do not understand what happened; could this have been avoided? Is there a test which could have determined his allergic reaction? Are there different makers of the iron infusion and is one more dangerous than the other?
Any help you can provide will greatly help us understand what went wrong.
Thanks

I am very sorry for your loss.
I've been getting iron infusions for about the last 6 years, once a year. One of my worst side affects was my heart. It does seem to be one of the common side affects. Please seek professional counsel for this.
And again, my heart goes out to you and your family.
