Abstract
Anticoagulation instability due to a change in intake of vitamin K after dietary modification was observed in 2 patients on long-term oral anticoagulants. One patient developed diffuse bruises treated conservatively with fresh frozen plasma transfusion and the other had a thrombosed aortic prosthesis which required emergency operation. To prevent such complications, dietary modification especially with food rich in vitamin K should be undertaken with care in patients on long-term oral anticoagulants.Entities:
