Trasylol Linked to Life Threatening Kindey Failure

Recent studies indicate that Trasylol, a drug used during heart surgery to minimize bleeding, is linked to kidney failure.  The drug has attracted further criticism by is high costs-nearly ten times the cost of other, equally effective drugs.  Since the drug is used during the actual surgery, patients rarely know if the drug has been administered.  Patients with kidney failure after heart surgery should be aware of this side effect, and inquire about Trasylol's use during their heart surgery.
