Dabigatran, a new oral anticoagulant, is a direct thrombin inhibitor used as an alternative to warfarin to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. We report a case of a man who resumed dabigatran after 6 weeks of prior therapy and began experiencing hematuria with worsening kidney function. Renal biopsy with immunofluorescence and electron microscopy showed mesangial deposits consistent with immunoglobulin A nephropathy. With discontinuation of dabigatran and addition of methylprednisolone, the gross hematuria cleared and urine output improved.
达比加群是一种新型口服抗凝剂,是一种直接凝血酶抑制剂,可作为华法林的替代品,用于降低非瓣膜性心房颤动患者中风和全身性栓塞的风险。我们报告了一例男性患者,在接受了6周的前期治疗后恢复使用达比加群,随后开始出现血尿,肾功能恶化。免疫荧光和电子显微镜检查的肾活检显示系膜沉积物,符合免疫球蛋白A肾病。停用达比加群并加用甲泼尼龙后,肉眼血尿消失,尿量增加。
