Trasylol® and Kidney Damage

Patients needing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery to complete a coronary artery bypass graft have often been given Trasylol®. Trasylol® is used as a prophylactic to reduce perioperative blood loss and the need for blood transfusion.

Trasylol® increased the risk of heart attack increased more than 50 percent, renal failure nearly doubled, and the risk of stroke increased 181 percent.

Researchers believe that inadequate research during initial Trasylol® studies are the cause for the severe side-effect not being made clear. Makers of the antifibrinolytic agent, Bayer AG, argue that the evidence found in this study is not consistent with years of research conducted by the pharmaceutical company.

Doctors and surgeons however have expressed tremendous concern over the recent discovery of serious Trasylol® side effects. Researchers have estimated, had Trasylol® may be responsible for as many as 11, 050 kidney complications and that $250 million could have been saved in drug expenses had the generic alternative been used. In addition, an estimated $1 billion in healthcare costs could have been avoided.

If you or someone you love has been given Trasylol® and have experienced any of the following side effects, please contact a doctor immediately:

• Itching
• Rash
• Sweating
• Flush
• Urticaria
• Skin eruptions
• Pallor or cyanosis
• Dyspnoea

At least 12 cases of nonbacterial meningitis (an inflammation of the membrane coverings of the brain) has been linked to Trasylol® as well.
