Key result
Anticoagulant-related nephropathy caused acute kidney injury in an elderly patient with stage 4 chronic kidney disease, reducing eGFR to 9 ml/min and raising serum creatinine to 6.0 mg/dl.
Anticoagulant-related nephropathy should be considered in patients on anticoagulants who present with acute kidney injury and hematuria, especially those with underlying chronic kidney disease.
We reported here a case of anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN) in an elderly patient with background history of chronic kidney disease (CKD-stage 4, with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <24 ml/min). He presented with an acute kidney injury on background of chronic kidney disease (AKI/CKD) with eGFR of 9 ml/min and serum creatinine of 6.0 mg/dl.
