Dose-Finding Study of Rivaroxaban in Hemodialysis Patients

American Journal of Kidney Diseases Dose-Finding Study of Rivaroxaban in Hemodialysis Patients

Use of vitamin K antagonists for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in dialysis patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is controversial. However, no good alternatives presently are available. The anti−factor Xa antagonist rivaroxaban is contraindicated for lack of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and clinical data. This study aims to characterize the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
