Background: direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are an alternative to conventional antagonist of vitamin-K (AVK). However, immune suppressive drugs (ISDs) may interfere with DOACs pharmacokinetic.
Aim Of This Study: evaluate safety and efficacy profile of DOACs compared to AVK in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) treated with ISDs.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is anunusual disease resulting from autoantibodies (inhibitors) against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) and clinically manifests as bleeding, which sometimes can cause potentially limb-threatening or life-threatening situations. AHA is associated with cancers, auto-immune disorders, infections, dermatologic conditions and certain medications, among which it is commonly secondary to multiple rheumatologic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pollymyositis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia and undifferentiated connective tissue disease. In autoimmune diseases, it may be the result of autoantibody producing against FVIII, and some cases of AHA may act as the first manifestation of SLE.
