eCrCl, estimated creatinine clearance; DOACs, direct oral anticoagulants; INR, international normalized ratio; b.i.d., twice daily; QD, once daily; po, per os.

a

2.5 mg twice daily if two of the three criteria are met: creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dl, body weight ≤60 kg, aged 80 years or older.

b

Application of this dosage in patients with CKD has not been approved by Food and Drug Administration.

c

The dose is halved if any of the three criteria are met: estimated creatinine clearance of 30 approximately 50 ml/min, body weight ≤60 kg, concomitant use of verapamil or quinidine.

d

Estimated creatinine clearance values referenced for dose adjustment of apixaban.

e

This application is recommended by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes but lacks clinical safety or efficacy data.
