How can I find out if Trasylol was used during my surgery?
You can obtain a copy of your hospital bill and see if you have a charge for Trasylol. It should be listed as an injection on the day of your by-pass surgery. You can also obtain a copy of your medical records that may state what medications were given during surgery. You can also call your insurance company and ask if they paid for Trasylol.
If you suffered renal (kidney) failure requiring dialysis after your heart surgery and did not have kidney problems before surgery, you most likely received Trasylol. In this case you should contact a qualified civil justice attorney as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation.
The most serious and the best documented medical problem related to Trasylol is kidney failure requiring dialysis and often resulting in death. The statistical increase in patients suffering kidney failure following heart surgery is significant. If you or someone you know suffered kidney failure after open-heart surgery, you should contact our office immediately.
