Information from leading worldwide cardiac centers was gathered for a study regarding the heart surgery drug Trasylol. Kidney failure, stroke, and heart attack are side effects linked with Trasylol heart surgery patients according to the observational study published in January 2006 in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

Trasylol Kidney Damage

The NEJM study reported some alarming information regarding Trasylol in a study of 4,400 Trasylol heart surgery patients:

  • Trasylol raises the risk of stroke by 181 percent
  • Trasylol raises the risk of heart attack by 48 percent
  • Trasylol increases heart failure by 109 percent

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in response to the Trasylol study, issued an advisory to the medical community. The FDA warned doctors to carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of Trasylol before giving it to an open heart surgery patient.

It is estimated that over 10,000 bypass surgery patients may be unnecessarily on kidney dialysis due to Trasylol. Heart surgery patients were administered Trasylol to reduce blood loss during bypass surgery. If you have had open heart surgery, your treating physician may have decided to give you the drug Trasylol, which has been associated with kidney and heart damage.
