[Renal insufficiency and venous thromboembolism].

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is of high incidence and prevalence worldwide. Renal insufficiency has high disease burden with insidious development and is accompanied with disorder of coagulation system. A higher prevalence of VTE has been observed among patients with renal insufficiency whereas VTE patient with renal insufficiency had higher rates of adverse outcomes. Recent evidence indicated that renal insufficiency was an important risk factor for both short and long-term prognosis for VTE. Renal function also affects the choice of anticoagulation therapy and dosage adjustment of drugs. We conducted a comprehensive review of the pathogenesis, mechanism, prognosis and treatment strategy for VTE patients who comorbid renal insufficiency by searching the latest and most advanced national and international articles, to provide integrated information for the prevention and treatment for VTE patients.
