Anticoagulant‐related nephropathy (ARN), that was described in humans first as warfarin‐related nephropathy, is characterized by acute kidney injury and red blood cell (RBC) tubular casts in the kidney. 5/6 nephrectomy (5/7NE) rats treated with warfarin or dabigatran show changes in kidney function and morphology that are similar to human disease. The role of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the pathogenesis of ARN is not clear. The aim of these studies was to elucidate the role of GFR in the pathogenesis of dabigatran‐induced ARN in 5/6NE rats.
