Traditionally, vitamin K antagonists were used for management, but the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) has increased in KTRs. In the general population, DOACs are recommended over warfarin, but the applicability of these recommendations to KTRs is unclear because of risk-benefit concerns. There is some hesitancy to use DOACs in KTRs because of their dependence on renal clearance for elimination, potential drug-drug interactions, and limited data. To date, studies of DOACs in KTRs have demonstrated that they are efficient in thromboembolic events, major bleeding is rare, and drug-drug interactions appear rare. However, no guidance yet exists about the use of DOACs, reversal of DOAC action, and the pre- and post-kidney transplant management of DOACs in KTRs, and the evidence base is scarce. Thus, decisions on DOAC use in KTRs are based on expert opinion and the resources and experiences of individual transplant centers. This review summarizes 10 published studies on the use of DOACs in 741 KTRs, evaluating the side effects, efficacy, drug-drug interactions, and perioperative management compared with those of 1320 KTRs using vitamin K antagonists. Although current data are limited, DOACs appear to be relatively safe and effective in KTRs, with some studies suggesting lower bleeding rates and better kidney function than with vitamin K antagonists. However, more research with larger patient groups is needed to draw definitive conclusions.</p>","PeriodicalId":7652,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142543053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
