Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) manifest a hypercoagulable state that contributes to increase the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), also occurring late in stable patients.Hypercoagulability in KTR is a multifactorial condition representing a severe complication in stable transplants. The prevention may consist either in an accurate pre-transplant thrombophilia screening or in identification of patients at higher DVT risk requiring long-term antiplatelet therapy. A longer observation period is needed to assess the optimal duration and type of anticoagulant therapy in these patients.

Abstract
Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) manifest a hypercoagulable state that contributes to increase the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), also occurring late in stable patients.Hypercoagulability in KTR is a multifactorial condition representing a severe complication in stable transplants. The prevention may consist either in an accurate pre-transplant thrombophilia screening or in identification of patients at higher DVT risk requiring long-term antiplatelet therapy. A longer observation period is needed to assess the optimal duration and type of anticoagulant therapy in these patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
