Dabigatran overdose secondary to acute kidney injury and amiodarone use.

2013 
Abstract Oral direct thrombin inhibitors have improved treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Safety concerns have been raised since there is no antidote for treatment of secondary haemorrhages and the absence of widely validated test to monitor drug levels. We present a case of dabigatran overdose in an 82-year-old female who was treated with a seemingly appropriate dose.
