End-stage kidney disease has a high risk of thromboembolic complications, which is further exacerbated by the addition of atrial fibrillation. The comorbidity of these pathologies presents a unique problem due to the combination of increased risk of stroke and bleeding. When prescribing anticoagulants, treatment adherence and persistence are low, thus, many patients are not receiving treatment. Newer oral anticoagulants may offer an alternative to a vitamin K antagonist in patients with end-stage kidney disease, but these drugs have not been extensively studied in this population, and therefore, uncertainty about comparative efficacy remains. In this review, we discuss current data on the risks and benefits of anticoagulants in this challenging setting.
Keywords: terminal chronic kidney disease, prevention of thromboembolic complications, anticoagulant therapy, atrial fibrillation
