Core Tip Patients with preoperative anemia presenting for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) have an increased risk of requiring allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). Current methods to increase preoperative hemoglobin is expensive, limited in efficacy, and have side effects. In this study, we found that intraoperative tranexamic acid (TXA) safely and effectively decreases blood loss and limits the rate of ABT after TJA for anemic patients. We recommend TXA for all patients without contraindications who have preoperative anemia.
