Abstract: Warfarin is the most usually used oral anticoagulant with narrow therapeutic window,wide inter-individual variability and high risks of bleeding or thromboembolism.How to accurately adjust the dosage of warfarin has been the key point and hot topic of the anticoagulant therapy.Many factors may influence the dosage of warfarin, especially genomic aspects(mainly CYP2C9,VKORC1 and CYP4F2). Over the last decade, there exist a new opportunity for warfarin individual treatment with the fast development of warfarin pharmacogenetic algorithms and Population Phamacoketic/Pharmacodynamic models.Based on numerous warfarin stable dosage prediction algorithms studies,this review updates the studies of warfarin personalized treatment,with the aim of providing evidence for clinical practice.

Key words: warfarin, personalized treatment, pharmacogenetic, dose algorithm, population pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics
