The formula is as follows: This method is recommended when assessing patients' CrCl prior to and during edoxaban treatment. In patients with mild renal impairment (CrCl > 50 – 80 mL/min), the recommended dose is 60 mg edoxaban once daily. In patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (CrCl 15 – 50 mL/min), the recommended dose is 30 mg edoxaban once daily. In patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) (CrCl < 15 mL/min) or on dialysis, the use of edoxaban is not recommended. What is the most appropriate daily dose of edoxaban, in milligrams, for this patient?
