Thus, our study aims to investigate the impact of aspirin consumption on individuals with CKD. Materials and Methods: This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis involved searching PubMed, ProQuest, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases without any time restrictions until December 22, 2023. Data analysis was conducted using STATA 14 software, with a significance level set at P<0.05. Results: Our analysis encompassed 12 studies involving a total of 92,271 participants. The findings revealed no meaningfully significant relationship between aspirin administration (≤200 mg) and renal failure in these patients (OR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.86, 1.14). Similarly, the use of low-dose aspirin (≤100 mg) did not impact renal failure in CKD patients (OR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.81, 1.15). The association between aspirin administration and renal failure in CKD patients aged 50-59 years (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 0.91, 1.34) and 60-69 years (OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.80, 1.15) was not statistically significant. However, aspirin use in CKD patients aged 70-79 demonstrated a reduction in renal failure (OR: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.14, 0.82). Furthermore, there was no statistically significant association between aspirin administration and all-cause death in CKD patients (OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.81, 1.13). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that aspirin consumption does not pose a risk for renal failure or all-cause mortality in CKD individuals. Registration: This study has been compiled based on the PRISMA checklist, and its protocol was registered on the PROSPERO (ID: CRD42024497581) and Research Registry (UIN: reviewregistry1768) website.
