Abstract

The worldwide prevalence of chronic kidney disease is 10–15 % of the adult population, is rising and increases susceptibility to venous thromboembolism (VTE). In this narrative review we discuss the underlying evidence behind the association of VTE/CKD and examine the role of worsening CKD stage, proteinuria, and the risk of recurrent VTE. As CKD may alter therapeutic options we discuss the role of emerging therapies, the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC), in the treatment of VTE.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
