Time in Therapeutic Range for Dialysis Patients on Warfarin

This study aimed to identify the time in therapeutic range (TTR) for dialysis patients on warfarin, and improve TTR with dietary review and intervention of interacting foods. We identified 151 patients undergoing hemodialysis in two units who were being treated with warfarin from January 1, 2010, through February 1, 2018, who were included in the overall TTR study. Of these, 15 patients were available to undergo the dietary intervention. International normalized ratio values were collected retrospectively for all eligible hemodialysis patients, and TTR was calculated for each period in which the patient was on hemodialysis.
