An Unusual Side Effect of Dabigatran Etexilate Use - Acute Renal Failure
Journal Title: Eurasian Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug with anticoagulant effect through inhibition of thrombin. Although it does not require laboratory monitoring and has minimal food-drug interaction, its disadvantages are bleeding, common GIS-related side effects and the need for dosage adjustment according to the severity of liver/renal failure. We aimed to present and discuss an unusual side effect of dabigatran etexilate.
