Trasylol Kidney Failure (Aprotinin Kidney Failure): Study Monitored Heart Bypass Patients Given Trasylol (Aprotinin)

An article in the January 2006 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine reported on a study of 4374 heart bypass patients. 1,295 of these were administered Trasylol (aprotinin). The study found that the patients who received Trasylol (aprotinin) had significant, adverse health consequences, including the following:

-A greater death rate than the other patients in the study who were not given Trasylol (aprotinin)

-Double the risk of kidney failure (renal failure) requiring dialysis

-48% increase in the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack)

-109% increase in the risk of heart failure

-181% increase in the risk of stroke

The study also found evidence of multi-organ damage involving the heart, brain, and kidneys. the findings of this and other Trasylol research has prompted the FDA to suspend marketing of Trasylol which results in essentially a Trasylol recall.

Two seperate and independent studies were published in February 2008 that provide even more evidence that the clotting drug Trasylol is extremely dangerous. The news comes amid a flurry of lawsuits filed by those who experienced severe side effects after being administered the drug during surgery. If you think you may have been injured, call an experienced attorney for Trasylol now.

The first study, which dealt with about 10,000 patients, studied those who had bypasses at Duke University Medical Center from 1996 through 2005.

This study concluded 6.4 percent of patients who were given Trasylol died within 30 days of the surgery, a rate nearly 2.5 times higher than patients who got other drugs (which were equally effective) or who received no treatment for bleeding.

The second study, financed by Bayer itself, looked at around 78,000 patients nationwide between 2003 and 2006.

Expert researchers found the risk of death was nearly 64 percent higher in the Trasylol group than in those taking comparison drugs.

If you were given Trasylol during or after surgery and suffer encephalopathy or kidney failure, please fill out the form found here for a free case review.

If you or a family member may have been injured by Trasylol, please call or contact Cardin & Payne Attorneys. Our lawyers will find out if you took TRASYLOL IF YOU DON'T KNOW.

60 Minutes ran a special on the drug "Trasylol" and the lawyers at Cardin & Payne have chosen to pursue cases against the drug maker and are currently evaluating claims. Bayer, the bad drug's manufacture, markets and sells the drug that has been used during cardiac bypass surgery to help reduce blood loss.

In part, the reason for the 60 minutes show was a January of 2006 study showed an association between Trasylol and kidney failure and death. Shortly afterward, the Mangano Study appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine and affirmed what Bayer had known for decades.

Call NOW: If you had OPEN HEART SURGERY or BYPASS PROCEDURE and then suffered KIDNEY FAILUURE within three (3) months afterwords, Cardin & Payne Lawyers might be able to help you and your family.

Tyasylol (as seen on "60 Minutes") is linked to the following SIDE EFFECTS:

-Heart Attack
-Kidney Damage and Renal Failure
-Stroke
-Death

There are many "smoking guns" in this case.

Experts report Trasylol (drug generic name: Aprotinin) doubles the risk of kidney failure and stroke and increases the risk of heart failure or heart attack by 55 percent. Aprotinin/Trasylol is an injection during surgery (not an over-the-counter drug) used to prevent excessive blood loss during heart bypass surgery. Aprotinin is linked to causing encephalopathy, degenerative brain diseases.

Are you or a family member eligible for an Trasylol/Aprotinin lawsuit?

Aprotinin is the generic word for the brand name Trasylol.

It didn't have to be this way but GREED reared its ugly head.

The generic alternatives to Trasylol--Amicar (aminocaproic acid) and Cyklokapron (tranexamic acid)--were studied as well. These generic drugs were confirmed through thes studies to be both safe and effective. Expert researchers estimate that if hospitals stopped using Trasylol promptly and instead used the above generic drugs, it would save 9,000 to 11,000 people every year from kidney dialysis.

Greed explained:

The difference in bypass surgery drugs is alarming:
-Trasylol costs $1,300 per dose (manufactured by Bayer AG)
-Amicar costs only $11 per dose (generic)
-Cyklokapron costs $44 per dose (generic)

Bayer made BIG money as a result of deception and malice.

In January 2006, the New England Journal of Medicine published a report about a study revealing the dangerous Trasylol/aprotinin side effects. The maker of Trasylol, Bayer AG, insisted the study was flawed and that the Trasylol is safe.

Eight months later Bayer chose to not disclose the dangers of two recent aprontinin studies to the FDA. On September 29, 2006 Bayer said it had mistakenly (and an oddly fortuitous mistake for Bayer) withheld another study based on 67,000 hospital patient records that suggested the drug could increase the chances of death, serious kidney damage, congestive heart failure, and stroke. Bayer only disclosed their own report and these serious facts after a whistle-blower contacted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

If these reports had not come out and the evidence revealed, it could have gotten much worse. What’s really horrifying is that Bayer had been hoping that Trasylol would be used in all types of surgeries.

TRASYLOL ATTORNEY KIDNEY DAMAGE MISSOURI LAWSUIT DRUG RECALL

A lawsuit has been filed against Bayer AG (maker of Trasylol) over man’s death after open-heart surgery in St. Louis.

A lawsuit has been filed in a St. Louis federal court against Bayer AG, the maker of the anti-bleeding drug Trasylol, on behalf of a man's widow. Her husband died of kidney failure after open-heart surgery.

In December 2005, Samuel Nakis, 81, underwent open-heart surgery at St. Luke’s Hospital. During the surgery he was given Trasylol (generic: aprotinin), a clotting drug used to prevent bleeding. After the surgery, Nakis experienced kidney failure and underwent dialysis and died a short time later.

The FDA approved Trasylol in 1993. In January 2006, the medical journal Transfusion published an article suggesting a link between Trasylol and renal toxicity. Later that same month, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article, by Dr. Dennis Mangano of the nonprofit Ischemia Research and Education Foundation, linking Trasylol to a much higher risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney failure.

Fall 2006: an FDA advisory board met to decide whether the warning on Trasylol needed to be changed and at this meeting Bayer failed to disclose the findings of a Trasylol study it had funded and found grave risks which they failed to report. That study, conducted by Dr. Alexander Walker, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, reviewed the hospital records of over 67,000 patients and found that Trasylol had a risk of death 64 percent higher than that of patients who received a comparison drug. Shockingly, it wasn’t until November 2007 that the drug was finally pulled from the market.

The New England Journal of Medicine released the study conducted by Walker and a second study conducted by Duke University Medical Center researchers. Both of which confirmed patients given Trasylol during heart surgery were more likely to die than patients given a comparable drug.

The lawsuit alleges Bayer failed to warn prescribers and consumers of the dangers associated with the drug, defectively designed the drug, fraudulently concealed the dangers of the drug, breached the implied and express warranties and violated the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act and seeks big money.

Tyasylol is linked to (as seen on "60 Minutes") kidney failure and the following:

-Heart Attack
-Kidney and Renal Failure
-Stroke
-Death

"60 Minutes" reported in February 2008 how the drug's manufacturer (Bayer) conducted a Trasylol study led by a prominent Harvard physician and deceptively kept the negative research findings from the public and, specifically, the FDA. This deception led to a delay in the recall and allowed Bayer to boost sales and dominate the cardiac and surgery market. Knowing of Trayslol's serious adverse health effects long before the recall, Bayer did nothing! Their inaction led experts to estimated that the drug contributed to the completely unnecessary and preventable loss of a thousand lives per month.
