Abstract
Aim. To evaluate efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban for stroke and systemic
embolism prevention in patients with AF of non-valvular cause and concomitant
CKD.
Material and methods. Totally 16 patients with AF included, having chronic kidney
disease of II-III stages, who during a year were being assessed an efficacy — cases
of death, stroke and systemic embolism, and drug safety (clinically significant and
non-significant bleedings).
Results. As a result for efficacy — stroke, systemic embolism, death cases were not
registered. In assessment of safety, mild nasal bleedings (not needed medical help)
were marked in 3 patients during one month of treatment, and in 2 patients there
were non-persistent petechias. Clinically significant bleedings were not registered.
Conclusion. The usage of the oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban in dose 20 mgand 15 mg per day in patients with AF of non-valvular cause with comorbid CKD II-III stage is effective and safe for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism.
