Abstract
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.
