Dabigatran and idarucizumab, its reversal agent, are renally cleared.The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of reversal and outcomes according to baseline renal function in dabigatran-treated nondialysis patients receiving idarucizumab.In 503 patients in RE-VERSE AD (Reversal of Effects of Idarucizumab in Patients on Active Dabigatran), the extent of dabigatran reversal and clinical outcomes were compared according to baseline renal function (creatinine clearance: normal ≥80, mild 50 to 20 ng/ml compared with 8.3% of patients with normal renal function at baseline. Time to cessation of bleeding and the proportion with normal hemostasis with procedures were similar regardless of renal function, but patients with severe renal impairment had higher 30- and 90-day mortality rates.Idarucizumab completely reverses dabigatran in >98% of patients regardless of renal function. Although re-elevation of dabigatran levels within 12 to 24 h is more common with renal impairment, the time to bleeding cessation and the extent of hemostasis during procedures are similar.
