Impact of acetylsalicylic acid on perioperative bleeding complications in deceased donor kidney transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The objective of this study was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes and complications associated with the use of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in deceased donor kidney transplantation (KTX), with a particular focus on bleeding events.

Methods
