Project overview

Does low-dose aspirin reduce the chance of a first heart attack or stroke in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

This multicentre randomised trial will assess the effectiveness of low dose aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adult patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). There is uncertainty about the benefits (vs CVD) and harms (bleeding) of aspirin in such patients. CKD is common and the frequency is rising and it is associated with increased risk of CVD.
