Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have high rates of gastrointestinal bleeding due to several risk factors including platelet dysfunction, comorbid illness, and use of antiplatelet medications. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce gastrointestinal bleeding and are recommended for high-risk patients such as those prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Whether inappropriate duration of DAPT therapy and/or lack of appropriate PPI use contribute to the known elevated risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in hemodialysis patients is not known.
