Kidney Failure & YAZ Birth Control

Antelope Valley YAZ Injury Attorneys

Kidney infection is one of the many  side effects that may be associated with YAZ, a leading oral contraceptive used by women throughout the U.S. If a loved one suffered kidney damage or kidney failure while taking YAZ, Yasmin or Ocella, it is important that you consider consulting with a lawyer to determine whether you have grounds for a lawsuit against Bayer, the manufacturer of YAZ, or perhaps the doctor who prescribed this birth control to you. At the R. Rex Parris Law Firm, your initial consultation with an Antelope Valley YAZ injury attorney is free, and we represent clients throughout Lancaster, Palmdale and the surrounding areas in north Los Angeles County.

Kidney Failure

The kidneys play key roles in the body. They filter blood and eliminate waste, balance levels of electrolytes in the body, control blood pressure, and stimulate the production of red blood cells. There are a number of different causes of kidney failure, and this is a potentially fatal situation if both kidneys are unable to function. A physical injury may cause kidney failure, as well as dehydration, an obstruction of the renal artery or vein causing a lack of blood flow to the kidney, infection, medication that is toxic to the kidneys, kidney stones, high blood pressure, or diabetes.

Kidney infection and kidney stones are both possible side effects of YAZ, and these in addition to or in accordance with high blood pressure, diabetes or other medical conditions may lead to kidney failure.
