[HSF] asprin in chronic liver didease

[Michael Firstenberg]

never

Much like we get burdened with medications that other start (i.e. Plavix),
IMHO your goal is to keep those grafts open as long as possible and the data
points to ASA as playing a major role.  His potential for massive GI
bleeding from a dead liver, portal hypertension, varicies, non-compliance,
etc I dont think is going to change much if he is on aspirin or night (other
than his potential outcome from such a bleed if his grafts are not helping
his heart deal with the added stress).  If he bleeds, then think about
stopping it.
