Daily aspirin for kidney patients: does it stop first heart attacks?
NCT ID NCT03796156
Summary
This large UK study aimed to see if taking a daily low-dose aspirin pill could prevent a first heart attack or stroke in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Over 4,600 adults with CKD but no history of heart disease were randomly assigned to take aspirin or receive their usual care only. The goal was to weigh the potential benefit of preventing blood clots against the known risk of increased bleeding.
