Texas Trasylol Lawyer Handles Trasylol Kidney Liver Failure
Lawsuits
Evidence has shown that
the heart surgery drug, Trasylol, can cause
significant health problems including kidney failure
resulting in death or the need for dialysis.
Unfortunately, even though there has been significant
knowledge of these potential health problems those profiting
from the sale of Trasylol were slow to pull the drug off the
market potentially causing thousands of deaths and kidney
damage in tens of thousands of heart patients.
If you have lost a loved one after heart
bypass surgery due to kidney failure or a loved one has
suffered a heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure or other
kidney damage requiring dialysis after heart bypass surgery,
you may want to check if Trasylol was used in the surgery.
If you have questions regarding a potential Trasylol kidney
failure lawsuit, please feel free to

Texas Trasylol Lawyer (Texas Trayslol
Lawsuits)
Delays in pulling Trasylol from the market and
publicizing the known and suspected health risk of Trasylol may have
caused thousand of unnecessary deaths as well as caused many heart
surgery recipients to suffer unnecessary kidney failure damage.
Because of the large number of people this drug may have hurt or
killed, several Trasylol Lawyers are investigating potential
Trasylol lawsuits including when the manufacturer first learned of
potential health risks of the drug and if anyone intentionally
concealed these health risks. Further, several Trasylol
lawyers are investigating if these same corporations and people may
have over stated the benefits of Trasylol in order to maximize
profits.
It is estimated that the annual projected
sales of Trasylol was over $600 million producing huge
profits for those that had a duty to disclose any know
health hazards with the drug.

FDA Actions on Trayslol
The United States Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has issued a Public Health
Advisory alerting doctors who perform heart bypass surgery, and
their patients, that Trasyolol (aprotinin injection), a drug used to
prevent blood loss during surgery, has been linked to higher risks
of serious side effects including kidney problems, heart attacks and
strokes in patients who undergo artery bypass graft surgery.
The FDA has also requested a suspension
in the marketing of the drug Trayslol in the interest of
patient safety based on their preliminary investigations of
health problems and adverse reactions that have been
associated with the use of Trayslol. The FDA is still
investigating Trayslol and is working with Bayer, the
study's researchers at the Ottawa Health Research Institute,
and other regulatory agencies to undertake a thorough
analysis of data to better understand the risks and benefits
of Trasylol.
Unfortunately, there are limited treatment options for patients
at risk for excessive bleeding during cardiac surgery. Thus, FDA is
working with Bayer to phase Trasylol out of the marketplace in a way
that does not cause shortages of other drugs used for this purpose.
The FDA has been notified that researchers with the Ottawa Health
Institute stopped a study on Trasylol because the drug appeared to
increase the risk for death compared to two other antifibrinolytic
drugs used in the study. Antifibrinolytic drugs help slow the
breakdown of blood clots and subsequent excessive bleeding. The
preliminary data from this terminated study also suggested that
fewer patients receiving the drug experienced serious bleeding
events and that Trasylol may not be as effective as once believed or
marketed.
The Use of Trasylol in Heart Surgery Increases the
Risk of Kidney Failure and other Health Problems
Recently, scientific evidence has found
that Trasylol, a drug frequently used during heart surgery
to control bleeding, has been found to increase the risk of
kidney failure in patients. Kidney failure can lead to
death or requiring people to undergo kidney dialysis.
It is estimated that over 100,000 people have been forced to
undergo dialysis after receiving the drug.
A study published in the New England
Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in January of 2006 revealed that
Trasylol, in addition to increasing the risk of kidney
failure in patients, Trasylol also increases the risk of
heart attack, heart failure, and strokes. After this study
many health care providers became aware of the dangers in
using Trasylol.
It is estimated that over 20,000 people
have died from use of Trasylol and Trasylol has increased
worldwide medical costs by more than $1 billion per year.
