Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
No anticoagulation
Oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists
No oral anticoagulation, and no monitoring of the INR.
VKA use as recommended in the guidelines with INR target range between 2 and 3. Daily administration or thrice weekly at the end of dialysis sessions upon Nephrologist's choice. Antiplatelet therapy will be provided only if recent acute coronary syndrome (< 6 months) or active coronary stent. Aspirin should be preferred in dialysis patients as clopidogrel has an unpredictable reduced activity and there is no safety data on combination of VKA with prasugrel or ticagrelor in this population.
