Anticoagulant-Related Nephropathy in a Patient with IgA Nephropathy [PDF]
Anticoagulant-related nephropathy is a type of acute kidney injury caused by overcoagulation. We describe a case of an 84-year-old man with arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation treated with acenocoumarol, who presented ...

Acenocoumarol – a historical overview and its place in modern anticoagulant therapy [PDF]
Acenocoumarol, a vitamin K antagonist (VKA), has played a pivotal role in anticoagulant therapy for over 60 years. Derived from the coumarin family, acenocoumarol inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase, disrupting the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent ...

The c.-1639g>A polymorphism of the VKORC1 gene and his influence on the therapeutic response during oral anticoagulants use [PDF]
Background/Aim. A single nucleotide polymorphism c.- 1639G>A in the promoter region of vitamin K-epoxide reductase (VKORC1) gene has been found to account for most of the variability in response to oral anticoagulants (OA). The aim of the study was to

A C1173T dimorphism in the VKORC1 gene determines coumarin sensitivity and bleeding risk. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: A C1173T polymorphism in intron 1 of the VKORC1 gene has been claimed to determine the interindividual variability in the response to vitamin K antagonist therapy (VKA), but it is unknown whether it also influences bleeding risk.

An Extensively Humanized Mouse Model to Predict Pathways of Drug Disposition and Drug/Drug Interactions, and to Facilitate Design of Clinical Trials [PDF]
Species differences in drug metabolism and disposition can confound the extrapolation of in vivo pharmacokinetic data to man, and also profoundly compromise drug efficacy studies due to differences in pharmacokinetics, in metabolites produced (which are ...
