The Neglected fact: Anticoagulation-Related Nephropathy

Anticoagulation-related nephropathy may be a frequently overlooked diagnosis. Previously known as warfarin-induced nephropathy, the disease has been found in other anticoagulants and extends to anticoagulation-related nephropathy. For this kind of disease, if not recognized and diagnosed in time, it will be a potentially devastating disease with extremely serious consequences for patients. Therefore, we need to know which factors are more likely to cause patients with anticoagulation-related nephropathy. Through understanding this extremely neglected disease, we can predict potential patients. Currently, there are no specific guidelines for the identification and management of anticoagulationrelated nephropathy, but this is an urgent matter because of the increasing number of diseases and patients requiring anticoagulant therapy.
