Ive been using aspirin at night cause my joints crack and hurt,my kidney doctor said aspirin was okay,so why is it when i take it im not in the bathrm all night?and was my stomach hurting cause of metformin, dont take it anymore,if i dont i am?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aspirin is a NSAID but it' s relatively safe for renal fx but hard for the stomach so most patients can take daily low dose ASA (81-325 mg/day) for secondary prevention of heart attack and strokes. Urinary frequency at night, nocturia, is a hallmark of CKD. With ASA at night you have a better sleep. Body pain can wake you up to the bathroom trip, not ASA hurts kidney fx so you pee less.
