Summary A case is reported of an extremely severe, transient, antithrombin‐type anticoagulant, which resulted in gross hæmaturia, clot obstruction and acute renal failure. No cause for the appearance of the anticoagulant was discovered. The patient made a full recovery and remains well one year later. This is believed to be the first report of any circulating anticoagulant with such a transient course.
