Prescriber compliance with renal function monitoring in patients taking dabigatran (Pradaxa).

CONCLUSIONS: Over one-third of patients taking dabigatran for over a year did not have their renal function monitored in keeping with current guidelines, potentially leading to an increased risk of bleeding. We suggest there is a need for an automated reminder to prompt annual renal function testing. PMID: 26913911 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
