Coagulation disturbances in acute kidney injury
View through CrossRef
Patients with acute kidney injury may suffer from disturbances of the coagulation systems, either as a consequence of uraemia, or on the basis of an underlying disease, or due to blood–membrane interaction and/or anticoagulation during renal replacement therapy. The implications of this for their management, and anticoagulation during renal replacement therapy, are discussed. Some specific circumstances, including thrombotic microangiopathy, are mentioned.
