We report a case of profound anticoagulation caused by interaction between warfarin and danshen, a widely used Chinese herbal medicine, in a patient who had undergone mitral valve replacement. Patients taking warfarin should be warned not to take this herb. In addition, physicians should be alert to the possibility of an interaction with herbal medicine when anticoagulation control becomes difficult and no other causes are apparent.
我们报告了一例二尖瓣置换术后患者因华法林与丹参(一种广泛使用的中草药)相互作用而导致严重抗凝的病例。应告诫服用华法林的患者不要服用这种草药。此外,当抗凝控制变得困难且无其他明显原因时,医生应警惕与草药相互作用的可能性。
