    AbstractCKD is a common comorbidity in patients with atrial fibrillation. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is not validated in patients with severe CKD and has a low predictive value in dialysis patients. As NOACs are partly eliminated by the kidneys the dosage has to be adapted in CKD. Recent studies indicate an acceptable safety profile for NOACs in CKD. However, larger randomized studies are still lacking. The results from prospective studies with placebo i.e., no anticoagulation therapy, are pending.Thieme. All rights reserved.
