Aaron Goodman: Effects of DOACs on Tests of Hemostasis

DOAC Jewels – Tweetorial.

Effects of DOACs on Tests of Hemostasis.

  • All increased PT (dabigatran slightly).
  • All increased PTT (rivaroxaban/apixaban very slightly).

Mixing studies demonstrate incomplete correction.

Dabigatran can falsely increase fibrinogen. Only dabigatran increases TT.

Anticoagulant Mechanism Name Jewels!

Drugs target Xa = Xa in name:

  • ApiXaban,
  • BetriXaban,
  • EdoXaban,
  • RivaroXaban.

Drugs target BOTH Xa+thrombin = PARIN (pair) in name:

  • HeParin,
  • EnoXaParin,
  • DalteParin.

Drugs target only IIa = B (2nd letter):

  • ArgatroBan,
  • Bivalrudin,
  • DaBigatran.
DOACs and Renal Impairment.
% Renal Excretion:
  • Dabigatran: 80%,
  • Rivaroxaban: 66%,
  • Edoxaban: 40%,
  • Apixaban: 25%,
  • Betrixaban: 11%.

To remember order from worst to best to give for patients with renal impairment: DR. Ed ABe.

Lets reverse this now!

  • Warfarin equals the inhibition of factors II,VII,IX,X.
  • Reverse equals Vitamin K, 4 factor PCC (II,VII, IX, X).
  • Heparin equals the inhibition of factors II,X.
  • Reverse equals the Protamine (binds heparin).
  • Dabigatran equals the inhibition of factor II.
  • Reverse equals Idacrucizumab (MAB to dabigatran).
  • Xa inhibitors (Apixaban).
  • Reverse equals Andexanet (Xa decoy binds drug).”
