Objectives: Thromboembolism is a recognized complication of nephrotic syndrome (NS). Evidence supporting the use of rivaroxaban to prevent NS-related thrombosis is limited and controversial. This study aimed to explore the impact of NS on rivaroxaban pharmacokinetics and to collect observational data on the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban as primary thromboprophylaxis in patients with NS. Methods: This prospective study analyzed 141 patients with NS who received rivaroxaban (10 mg/day) for thromboprophylaxis. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was used to measure the trough and peak plasma concentrations (Ctrough and Cmax) of rivaroxaban. The influence of clinical and genetic factors on these concentrations was examined using multivariate logistic regression. Results: The median Cmax and Ctrough were 68.5 ng/mL (IQR, 31.7-105.5 ng/mL) and 4.4 ng/mL (IQR, 1.2-11.9 ng/mL), respectively. The incidence of thromboembolic events (TEs) was 12.8%, while that of bleeding events was 14.2%, although all were classified as minor. Albumin level was the most significant factor affecting Cmax (ρ = 0.55; P < 0.001) and was also significantly associated with TEs (0.81; 0.71-0.91 per 1.0 g/dL increase; P = 0.001) and bleeding risks (1.11; 1.03-1.19 per 1.0 g/dL increase; P = 0.008). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ABCB1 gene significantly influenced Ctrough but were not associated with clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Hypoalbuminemia significantly affects the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban in NS patients. A dose-adjustment strategy based on rivaroxaban concentrations, accounting for variable albumin levels, may improve the safety and efficacy of thromboprophylaxis in this population.
