Dabigatran treatment simulation in patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis.
This study simulated the dose-exposure relationship of dabigatran in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Dabigatran exposure was modelled at once- and twice-daily doses of 75 mg, 110 mg and 150 mg and at variations in non-renal clearance and dialysis settings. Resultant dose exposure (area under the curve [AUC]) was compared with values simulated from typical patients in the RE-LY® trial (based on a previously characterised pharmacometric model). In this simulation, all twice-daily dosages resulted in exposures above those simulated from typical RE-LY patients (1.5- to 3.3-fold increase in AUC) and thus may not be optimal ...

The Effect of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Dabigatran Levels
DABIGATRAN IS a novel anticoagulant that is licensed for use for the prevention of stroke in the presence of atrial fibrillation. Its use has expanded rapidly in New Zealand, primarily due to there being no requirement for routine monitoring of its effect, as there is for warfarin. There are case reports in the literature describing management of patients coming for urgent cardiac surgery, which revolve mainly around the use of dialysis and massive transfusion of clotting factors to manage the bleeding associated with surgery.

Short- and long-term outcome of patients with spontaneous echo contrast or thrombus in the left atrial appendage in the era of the direct acting anticoagulants
ConclusionEven in the DOAC era, the occurrence of thrombus or SEC in the LAA is associated with a high rate of MACCE. Our study suggests that the choice of DOAC therapy may have an impact on long-term survival.Graphic abstract

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients on Chronic Dialysis and Concomitant Atrial Fibrillation: A Common Clinical Impasse
Front Biosci (Schol Ed). 2022 Jul 21;14(3):21. doi: 10.31083/j.fbs1403021.ABSTRACTThe most frequent arrhythmia treated is atrial fibrillation (AF), which necessitates the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) to reduce the risk of thromboembolism and stroke. Patients with chronic kidney disease are more likely to develop AF, with a 10% frequency among those on chronic dialysis. Warfarin is the most widely prescribed OAC for individuals with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). On the other hand, direct OACs (DOACs) are generally safer than warfarin, with fewer fatal bleeding events and a fixed dose that does not require close inte...
