Objective:
The aim of the study was to investigate a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of rivaroxaban and evaluate the correlation between plasma concentration and anti-Xa activity in patients using oral rivaroxaban.
Methods:
In this study, the plasma concentration of rivaroxaban and anti-Xa factor activities was determined in 125 patients, and the relationship between the two variables was analysed by SPSS 21.0 software.
Results:
The results showed that the plasma concentrations of oral rivaroxaban patients were significantly correlated with the activity of the anti-Xa factor (Spearman's r = 0.990, P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The plasma concentrations of rivaroxaban are a potentially useful monitoring indicator to assess the patient's bleeding risk if testing for plasma anti-Xa activity is not available.
