Aspirin plus severe hypertension was associated with higher ICH in hemodialysis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does restricting aspirin use in severe hypertension and primary prevention reduce intracerebral hemorrhage in hemodialysis patients?
Minimizing aspirin use in hemodialysis patients with severe hypertension reduces intracerebral bleeding without a significant difference in cardiovascular mortality.
