Efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants vs vitamin K antagonists in patients with atrial fibrillation and end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Among AF patients with ESRD on chronic hemodialysis, the risk of ischemic stroke, ischemic stroke or systemic embolism, minor bleeding, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality is similar in patients treated with DOACs compared to VKAs. Given that the meta-analysis of RCTs on gastrointestinal bleeding did not confirm the results of the meta-analysis of the observational studies, it cannot be concluded that gastrointestinal bleeding is lower among DOAC-treated patients.PROTOCOL REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42023391966.PMID:37648582 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2023.08.020

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Apixaban to the Vitamin K-antagonist Phenprocoumon in Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis: The AXADIA-AFNET 8 study
Conclusions: In this randomized trial comparing apixaban and VKA in patients with AF on hemodialysis with long follow-up, no differences were observed in safety or efficacy outcomes. Even on oral anticoagulation, patients with AF on hemodialysis remain at high risk of cardiovascular events. Larger randomized trials are needed to determine the optimal anticoagulation regimen for patients with AF on hemodialysis.

Can I use DOAC in a patient with renal disease?
Case A 76-year-old man is diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. His comorbid conditions are hypertension, diabetes complicated by neuropathy, and chronic kidney disease stage 3. His current medications include metformin, lisinopril, gabapentin, and aspirin. His most recent laboratories showed a creatinine 1.8, creatinine clearance (CrCl) 35 mL/min, hemoglobin 11g/dL, and international normalized ratio 1.0. His congestive heart failure, hypertension, age, diabetes, stroke, vascular disease, and sex (CHADSVASc) score is 4. Which medication should we use to prevent stroke in this patient?  Brief overview of the is...

Anticoagulation use and the risk of stroke and major bleeding in patients on hemodialysis: From the VIVALDI, a population-based prospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Although the non-randomized nature of the study is prone to bias, anticoagulation with VKA was not associated with decreased thromboembolic risk, but associated with increased risk of major bleeding and may be net-harmful to patients with AF on HD.PMID:34418291 | DOI:10.1111/jth.15508

Calcifediol supplementation in adults on hemodialysis: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: In adults treated with hemodialysis and who had vitamin D insufficiency, calcifediol supplementation for 24 months had inconclusive effects on mortality and cardiovascular outcomes.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT01457001.PMID:34173940 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-021-01104-z

Direct oral anticoagulants in chronic kidney disease: an update
Purpose of review Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are variably eliminated by the kidneys rendering their use potentially problematic in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or necessitating appropriate dose adjustment. Recent findings Both observational and limited randomized trial data for DOACs compared with no treatment or with warfarin for patients with atrial fibrillation on maintenance dialysis were recently published. In a randomized trial in patients on hemodialysis, there was no significant difference in vascular calcification between patients who received rivaroxaban with or without vitamin K2 or vi...

Systematic DOACs oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease: the nephrologist's perspective.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is highly prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and also associated with unfavorable outcome. Anticoagulant therapy is the mainstep of management in such patients, aimed at reducing the high risk of systemic thromboembolism and especially of ischemic stroke, which is reportedly associated with increased mortality in CKD patients. Even though new direct oral anticoagulant agents (DOACs) proved to be effective in patients with non valvular chronic AF, and are therefore recommended by recent guidelines for their treatment, warfarin is currently used in more than...

Mediacalcosis in hemodialysis, predictors and prognosis
ConclusionMediacalcosis is a severe complication since it increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients, to this end, the individualization of entangled factors involved in its pathophysiology, will slow down or prevent its progression in the future.

Warfarin in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation-Time for a change?
Abstract Warfarin is the most commonly prescribed anticoagulant in hemodialysis (HD) patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Recent trends show that Nephrologists are increasingly prescribing novel oral anticoagulants, despite the fact that no randomized clinical trials have been conducted in dialysis patients. Difficulties maintaining international normalized ratio in the therapeutic range, increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage and concerns regarding warfarin-induced vascular calcification and calciphylaxis may be responsible. Anticoagulation quality is poor in HD patients. A variety of factors ...
