- Anticoagulant-related nephropathy is a condition where excessive anticoagulant levels lead to blood in urine and can result in acute kidney injury and possibly chronic kidney disease.
- The case study highlights a 63-year-old patient who developed kidney problems after starting anticoagulant medication two months post-kidney transplant.
- The patient experienced graft dysfunction alongside elevated international normalized ratio (INR) levels, indicating a potential overdose of the anticoagulant.
