Abstract
Currently, researchers are investigating new mechanisms of action and potential applications of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). This article summarizes recent studies on the use of ASA for primary prevention of cardiovascular complications (CVC), cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). The article discusses the efficacy and safety of ASA in patients with diabetes, COPD, CKD, and subclinical atherosclerosis of brachiocephalic arteries. ASA is a promising tool for primary prevention of CVC and progression of COPD and its complications, as well as malignant diseases. The safety profile of ASA is also addressed. The optimal dosage form of ASA that is both effective and safe is an important factor that should be considered when prescribing ASA for long-term use. Enteric-coated ASA is now widely used due to its diminished negative effect on gastrointestinal mucosa and improved safety.
