Recent advances in anticoagulant-related nephropathy: risk factors, peribiopsy and therapeutic anticoagulation
Key takeaways
Blood thinners can sometimes injure the kidneys, a problem called anticoagulant-related nephropathy. This article reviews what is known so far: who is most at risk, how to handle blood thinners around a kidney biopsy, and how doctors treat it when it happens. A review gathers up earlier work, so it carries no new results of its own. It is worth flagging because many people with kidney disease also take blood thinners.
