Acute Kidney Failure, also known as renal failure, entails the abrupt loss of the use of the kidneys to excrete waste and urine. Some of the causes of acute kidney failure are infections of the kidney, obstruction of the kidney track, decreased blood flow, and other disorders that cause clotting within the kidneys blood vessels. Symptoms of acute kidney failure include either a stoppage of urine or an increased amount of urine, swelling, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and abrupt changes in mood. Once you are diagnosed with acute kidney failure, the amount of liquid you consume must be monitored and in most cases severely limited to the amount of urine that you are comfortably able to produce. In recent years, many cases of acute kidney failure have been linked to the drug Trasylol.
Trasylol, manufactured by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, was predominantly used in open heart surgeries to control the amount of blood. Controlling the amount of blood in an open heart surgery is crucial because a bloodless heart is needed to be able for the doctors to be able to perform the surgery. Also, in an open heart surgery blood and oxygen is also supplied to the lungs and brain so that the body is able to function properly. You may be wondering why I am talking about open heart surgeries and
acute kidney failure in the same sentence. It is because when blood needs to be controlled during an open heart surgery, it is done by the use of a drug. The most commonly used drug to do this in the past decade was Trasylol. Trasylol has been linked to cause acute kidney failure when used in an open heart surgery. Trasylol has contributed to over 20,000 deaths due to acute kidney failure resulting in death.
Bayer Pharmaceuticals even had the ability to come public with their defective drug after they did their own study on the side effects. This study revealed that Trasylol did indeed cause acute kidney failure, however Bayer decided not to release their findings. Because Bayer did not tell the FDA about the negative side effects of Trasylol, thousands of people continued to die because of acute kidney failure. Trasylol was taken off the market over two years after Bayer had found out about Trasylol causing acute kidney failure. Bayer’s decisions have affected the lives of thousands for the worse, in which their actions should be justified. Many patients who had been suffering from acute kidney failure had no basis for where is had come from because doctors as well as the general public did not know about Trasylol’s damage to kidneys.
