Monitor anticoagulations ❖ No routinely measure anticoagulation parameters ❖ Dialyzer clotting ❖ Prolonged bleeding following dialysis ❖ Monitoring with the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is not accurate ❖ Measurement of anti-factor Xa levels keep 0.4-0.6 IU/mL or high risk bleeding 0.2-0.4 IU/mL

Adverse effects: LMWH vs. Heparin ❖ Hyperlipidemia ❖ Osteoporosis ❖ Hyperkalemia ❖ Thrombocytopenia UFH releases and depletes endothelium-bound lipoprotein lipase causing hypertriglyceridemia
Reduced TG concentrations during four years of dialysis with LMWH TG levels were decreased when patients switched to LMWH and rebounded when they reverted to UFH Deuber HJ, Schulz W. Kidney Int 1991;40:496-500.

Systematic review and meta-analysis: LMWH vs. Heparin Cholesterol level The WMD calculated for total cholesterol was −28.70 mg/dl (95% CI -51.43 to −5.98), Lazrak et al. BMC Nephrology. 2017: 18:187
Adverse effects: LMWH vs. Heparin ❖ Hyperlipidemia ❖ Osteoporosis ❖ Hyperkalemia ❖ Thrombocytopenia UFH is known to increase the risk of osteoporosis
Following LMWH treatment, TRACP was reduced by 13% (p<0.05) Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) and i-PTH Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and intact osteocalcin (OSC) ❖ Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) reflecting osteoclastic activity was elevated in 35% of patients.

Heparin and LMWH with bone mineral disease ❖ UFH is known to increase the risk of osteoporosis in pregnancy ❖ LMWH may partially alleviate osteoporosis associated with UFH administration in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
Systematic review and meta-analysis: LMWH vs. Heparin LMWH showed to be at least as safe as UFH for ECC anticoagulation in chronic hemodialysis The limited number of studies reporting on osteoporosis and HIT does not allow any conclusion for these outcomes.
