WRN, warfarin-related nephropathy; IRN, international normalized ratio; SCr, serum creatinine; R, retrospective; ND, not done; P, prospective; NR, not reported; W, warfarin; D, dabigatran.

a

Number of patients with acute increase in INR>3.0 and SCr measured within 1 week of INR>3.0.

b

Percentage of patients with INR>3.0 who developed AKI on the basis of the AKIN criteria (see text). D-treated patients are reported as the percentage of patients with AKI (27).

c

At the discovery of AKI.

d

This study reported that 30.7% of the warfarin-treated patients developed AKI. However, of those with INR>3.0, 63% developed AKI. That is the value reported here, because it conforms to the criteria for WRN used in the other four studies.

e

The INRs of the AKI and no AKI groups were not reported separately, but the mean difference between the group was reported as NS (P=0.34).

f

Number of patients with coagulopathy attributed to warfarin therapy.

g

Reported as percentage changes from baseline.

h

Number of patients with coagulopathy attributed to D therapy.
