Acenocoumarol is not a safe alternative for anticoagulation in phenprocoumon-induced hepatic failure. Report of two cases.
Acenocoumarol has been proposed repeatedly as a safe alternative drug regimen for oral anticoagulation in patients who have suffered phenprocoumon-induced fulminant hepatic failure. The current report describes 2 patients with phenprocoumon-induced hepatic failure, necessitating liver transplantation in 1 case, who showed recurrence of liver damage when oral anticoagulation with acenocoumarol was attempted. Thus, acenocoumarol may not be a safe therapeutic alternative for patients who survived severe phenprocoumon-induced hepatotoxicity.
