AI Article Synopsis
- 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.
Article Abstract
Anticoagulant-related nephropathy is an increasingly recognized entity, characterized by the presence of hematuria in the context of a supratherapeutic international normalized ratio with the development of secondary acute kidney injury, which may require renal replacement therapy and may progress to chronic kidney disease. We present the case of a 63-year-old patient who started anticoagulant therapy with acenocoumarol 2 months after her kidney transplant and presented with graft dysfunction concomitant to a supratherapeutic international normalized ratio.
