Anticoagulation-related nephropathy (ARN) is a clinical entity that has significant morbidity and mortality consequences/burden but has not been well described. Consequently, ARN has been underdiagnosed and sub-optimally managed. ARN has been reported with warfarin use especially in the setting of supratherapeutic international normalized ratio (INR) but the association is far less established with the use of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOAC). Accelerated progression to CKD and ultimately ESRD has been reported in patients with ARN. With the expanding indications for DOAC use, there is growing concern about ARN in the setting of DOAC use and its attendant clinical and socioeconomic burden. In this review, we highlight precautionary measures to aid prompt diagnosis of ARN and suggest possible therapeutic strategies.

Introduction: During hemodialysis (HD), the presence of clots in the dialyzer can diminish the effective surface area of the device. In severe cases, clot formation in the circuit can halt treatment and lead to blood loss in the system. Thus, ensuring proper anticoagulation during HD is crucial to prevent clotting in the circuit while safeguarding the patient from bleeding risks.

Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following anticoagulant application has received growing attention as a significant emerging complication of anticoagulation. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of real-world studies to compare the incidence, clinical features, and prognosis of AKI across different anticoagulant regimens.

Methods: Disproportionality analysis and Bayesian analysis were used to identify suspected AKI cases after different anticoagulant use within the Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System from January 2004 to March 2023.

The interaction between the kidney and the coagulation system greatly affects each other because of the abundant vessel distribution and blood perfusion in the kidney. Clinically, the risks of complicated thrombosis and bleeding have become important concerns in the treatment of nephropathies, especially nephrotic syndrome, CKD, ESKD, and patients with nephropathy undergoing RRTs. Adverse effects of anticoagulant or procoagulant therapies in patients with nephropathy, especially anticoagulation-related nephropathy, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, and bleeding, seriously worsen the prognosis of patients, which have become challenges for clinicians.

Introduction: There is a scarcity of data on anticoagulation-related nephropathy (ARN) caused by direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in recent years.

Materials And Methods: We collected literatures on DOACs-induced ARN to October 1, 2022, without language restrictions for retrospective analysis.

Results: Twenty events were included with a median onset time of 28 days among which fourteen were caused by dabigatran.
