Apixaban, a direct oral anticoagulant inhibiting factor Xa, has been proven to reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation-related stroke and thromboembolism in patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency. Patients on renal replacement therapy, however, were excluded from randomized controlled trials. Therefore, uncertainty remains concerning benefits, dosing and timing of intake in haemodialysis population.
