Warfarin Nedenli Vertebra Kırığı: Olgu Sunumu

Year 2018, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 25 - 26, 01.08.2018

Abstract

Warfarin, kumarin türevi bir antikoagülan olup K vitamini antagonistidir. K vitamini kemik metabolizmasında önemli bir rol oynar. Uzun süreli warfarin kullanımının, kot ve vertebra kırığı riskini arttırdığı bildirilmiştir. Burada, kronik warfarin kullanımına bağlı Th6 vertebra kompresyon kırığı ile karşılaşılan 60 yaşındaki bir erkek olguyu sunuyoruz. Çeşitli ilaçların uzun süreli kullanımlarında kemik üzerine etkileri tartışıldı. Birçok sistemik ek hastalığı özellikle kardiyovasküler hastalığı olan ve antikoagülan ilaçlar kullanan hastalar vertebra kırık riski açısından dikkatlice değerlendirilmelidirler.

Warfarin-Induced Vertebra Fracture: A Case Report

Year 2018, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 25 - 26, 01.08.2018

Abstract

Warfarin, a coumarin derivative anticoagulant, is a vitamin K antagonist. Vitamin K plays an important role in bone metabolism. Long-term warfarin use has been reported to increase the fracture risk of rib and vertebra. Here, we present a case of a 60-year-old man, who encountered a compression fracture of Th6 vertebra due to chronic warfarin use. Several drugs, which affect bones at long-term use, are discussed in this study. Patients both with many systemic comorbidities-cardiovascular diseases in particular and in the habit of using anticoagulant drugs should carefully be assessed for the fracture risk of vertebra.
