Highlights
•
Accumulation of LMWH is a concern in severe chronic kidney disease (CKD).
•
28 subjects with severe CKD received prophylactic tinzaparin for up to 8 days.
•
All had undetectable trough anti-Xa levels; half had undetectable peak levels.
•
Prophylactic tinzaparin dosing didn't incur clinically significant bioaccumulation.
Background: Hospitalized patients with severe chronic kidney disease
(CKD) are among the highest risk patients for venous thromboembolism
(VTE). Although low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) are effective
and safe for VTE prophylaxis, LMWH are rarely used in this
population because of concerns about bioaccumulation leading to
increased risk of blee...
