Abstract

New oral anticoagulants (NOACs), including direct thrombin and factor Xa inhibitors, have several advantages over vitamin K antagonists with regard to the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events. However, clinical and postmarketing evidence suggests that all of the currently available NOACs carry a small risk of hepatotoxicity. The mechanism behind this idiosyncratic adverse drug reaction remains unclear. Physicians and patients should be aware of the possible risks of liver injury with NOACs.
