Bayer 81 aspirin is it bad for the kidneys

I was told no aspirin or NSAIDs like ibuprofen.

Depends on multiple things...are you taking one a day for cardiac? Then no, not bad for CKD if you're stage is 1-4. If you are taking multiple a day, then yes, definitely.

I was told stick with tynenol it break down in the liver aspirin break down in kidney

[Darlenia in reply to Beachgirl32]

Yes! I find that really interesting. Some people have issues with both organs and they're apparently in a real bind since tylenol does hurt the liver and aspirin products hurt the kidney. My arthritis doctor pointed that out...he doesn't like prescribing either for long term pain for that exact reason.

I was told by a doctor that if you take Tylenol as directed for two weeks it WILL cause liver damage. I take zero Tylenol.

Depends on your cardiac risk factors. This is an ask-you-doctor question, not for the internet.

[OldTownhammock]

Yes

All NSAIDs including aspirin are bad for your kidneys. Even topical ointments with these drugs are bad for your kidneys.

I asked my nephrologist about taking low dose (81 mg) aspirin every other day and he said that was fine (for me). But you need to ask your own dr.

In the relatively few studies done on CKD parents and using aspirin at any dose it appears that aspirin at least for CKD patients doesn’t provide the cardio-protective effects like it does for persons who do not suffer from CKD…in the most recent and largest study show aspirin offers no cardio-protective effects as it does for patients without CKD. Here is a quote summarizing the studies:

For people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), daily low-dose aspirin use doesn’t appear to confer either primary or secondary cardiovascular benefit. On the other hand, it also doesn’t seem to accelerate kidney disease progression or cause major bleeding.

To Aspirin is a NSAID. My nephrologist says a resounding no. I'm in stage 3b. I do take the occasional ibuprofen for severe muscuskelatal pain. Tylenol doesn't really help except for fever

I was sent home from the transplant center with scrips for both, 81 mg AND regular dose aspirin. The regular dose is coming off my med list shortly, but the 81 mg is there to stay for a while.
