Your doctor has prescribed an anticoagulant, most likely a DOAC (direct oral anticoagulant) to prevent blood clots or stroke. But why is your doctor concerned about your kidneys? The answer is some of these medications can cause or worsen kidney problems if not dosed just right. This 1-page flyer shows the importance of balancing benefits and risks with these medications. Feel free to bring this resource to your next appointment and discuss it with your clinician.
