title: Diagnosis and therapy of anticoagulant rodenticide intoxications.
abstract: The mechanism of toxicity and agents of anticoagulant rodenticides are discussed. The diagnosis of anticoagulant poisoning is outlined and discussed by applying clinical, laboratory, and therapeutic response measures as a means to confirm poisoning. Additional therapeutic concerns and newly developed diagnostic tests are discussed. Application of the therapeutic and diagnostic measures provides a successful plan to manage anticoagulant poisonings.
