  • Title: [Unclear hepatopathy in a patient with atrial fibrillation].
    Author: Pennartz C, Schrader H, Ritter PR, Tannapfel A, Schmidt WE, Meier JJ.
    Journal: Internist (Berl); 2012 Jan; 53(1):88-92. PubMed ID: 22119907.
    Abstract:
    Although liver damage is a relatively rare adverse effect of oral anticoagulation with phenprocoumon, acute liver failure can be a serious treatment-associated complication. In this contribution, a patient with drug-induced liver failure during oral anticoagulation with phenprocoumon is presented. This case illustrates the need for close laboratory monitoring and suggests that phenrocoumon-induced liver damage should be considered along with other common complications of this treatment.
