Abstract

Warfarin is one of the most common oral anticoagulant used today. Although bleeding is the primary adverse effect of warfarin, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a rare condition. Here we report the clinical and imaging findings of a 53 year-old male patient who rapidly developed diffuse alveolar hemorrhage after an overdose of warfarin for mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation.

Özet

Warfarin, günümüzde yaygın olarak kullanılan oral antikoagulanlardan biridir. Kanama warfarinin yan etkilerinden birisi olmasına rağmen, yaygın alveoler hemoraji nadir görülmektedir. Burada sunulan olguda, mitral stenoz ve atrial fibrilasyon nedeniyle, profilaktik olarak kullanılan warfarinin aşırı dozda alımına bağlı hızlı bir şekilde yaygın alveoler hemoraji gelişmiştir. Elli üç yaşındaki erkek olgunun, klinik ve radyolojik bulguları aşağıda sunulmuştur.
