Abstract :Introduction: Low-molecular-weight heparin is one of the most preferred agents used in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. Case Report: An 85-year-old female patient was admitted for 3 days wıth ongoing and growing vaginal bleeding. Bladder hematoma and postrenal acute renal failure, rare complications of low-molecular-weight heparins, are presented in this case. Conclusion: Patients who have complaints about vaginal bleeding or hematuria should be questioned about a detailed history and the use of low-molecular-weight heparin. Low-molecular-weight heparin in rare cases may lead to bleeding, and postrenal acute renal failure should be kept in mind.
Keywords : Low molecular weight heparin, bladder hematoma, acute renal failure
