Liver Damage Induced by Coumarin Anticoagulants

Abstract: Except for bleeding complications, relevant adverse effects of coumarin anticoagulants are comparatively rare considering the widespread use of these substances. Here we present the case of a 56-year-old woman who developed recurrent episodes of severe hepatitis following repeated exposure to phenprocoumon (Marcumar; Roche, Grenzach-Wyhlen, Germany) and warfarin (Coumadin; DuPont Pharma, Bad Homburg, Germany) after replacement of the mitral valve with a mechanical prosthesis. The diagnosis of "coumarin-induced… Show more

“…One patient showed a strong reaction to both substances, whereas the other was negative, indicating that different side chains of the molecules may be involved in the induction of immunological reactions. This may explain why reports about the safety of acenocoumarol in patients with phenprocoumoninduced liver diseases are contradictory [21][22][23].…”

“…Seitdem sind weitere Fälle von leberspezifischen Komplikationen, welche von einer milden Hepatopathie bis hin zum akuten Leberversagen reichen können, veröffentlicht worden. Die Mehrzahl der Publikationen bezieht sich auf eine Therapie mit Phenprocoumaron [23,26,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43], jedoch finden sich in der Literatur auch Fälle von mit Dicumarol [44], Warfarin [45,46] oder Acenocoumarol [47,48] assoziierter Hepatopathie.…”
