Dabigatran overdose: a case report of acute hepatitis. Extracorporeal treatment.

Although extracorporeal therapy has been suggested as a strategy for clearing dabigatran during acute bleeding, this approach may be useful in other dabigatran-related, life-threatening conditions, such as that described in this report.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in the U.S. Hemophilia Population: A Cohort Study
Conclusions: In this interim analysis of an ongoing national prospective cohort study, older men with moderate to severe hemophilia commonly report risk factors for CKD, including HTN (51.5%), DM, viral infection, and potential renal damaging medication use. Only 11.6% had CVD. Urological symptoms were also common, including hematuria and obstructive symptoms with urination.In our cohort, 11.4% met the definition of CKD, defined as the presence of either kidney damage or GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for ≥ 3 months. The distribution of GFR values appeared similar to the general population. As with risk factors associated w...
