Abstract

Haematuria and Acute Kidney Injury Associated with Warfarin Anticoagulation

Andy KH Lim

Bleeding is a common complication of warfarin anticoagulation and not uncommonly affects the kidney and urinary tract. This review explores the potential causes of haematuria and acute kidney injury in patients receiving warfarin treatment. It covers urological aspects as well as the recently described warfarin-related nephropathy and other less common causes of kidney injury related to warfarin treatment.
