WHAT LIES BENEATH ANTICOAGULATION-RELATED ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY

摘要

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to glomerular hemorrhage in the context of overanticoagulation, commonly known as anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN), is a relatively novel recog- nized entity. Preexisting or underlying kidney disease seems to be a predisposing factor; however, few studies have described histologic findings in patients with ARN. We aimed to examine underlying kid- ney pathology in patients on oral anticoagulation who presented an episode of AKI with hematuria in whom a kidney biopsy was performed.
