Antiplatelet agents for chronic kidney disease
CONCLUSIONS: Antiplatelet agents probably reduced myocardial infarction and increased major bleeding, but do not appear to reduce all-cause and cardiovascular death among people with CKD and those treated with dialysis.

Successful Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement in a New End-Stage Renal Disease Patient with Combined Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Factor XI Deficiency.
We present the case of a 68-year-old woman with combined antiphospholipid syndrome and factor XI deficiency, with chronic prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time that was not correctable with fresh-frozen plasma (FFP).The patient had a history of stroke, but was not on antiplatelet therapy because of mucocutaneous bleeding events. She had progressive renal failure attributed to her autoimmune disease, and a decision was made to pursue peritoneal dialysis (PD) when she reached end-stage kidney disease. She was admitted to the hospital the day before her planned PD catheter placement and was transfused with FFP...
