Abstract
The use of anticoagulant therapy is a part of the daily work of clinicians and a reason for fear, primarily due to the risk of bleeding. The use of anticoagulant drugs in rheumatology remains a challenge. First, a large number of clinicians consider rheumatic conditions as a hypercoagulable state, which often leads to wrong decisions. Second, the use of drugs in the treatment of rheumatic diseases may be associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE ), and they can have effect on dose of anticoagulant agent. The aim of this paper is to present the properties of anticoagulant therapy through the prism of rheumatological pathology.
