- Abstract
Background. Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) are an alternative to unfractionated heparin (UFH) for anticoagulation during hemodialysis (HD). We performed a prospective randomized crossover study of the effect of enoxaparin, nadroparin, and dalteparin on some hemostatic factors, including tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), in patients with maintenance HD. Methods. Plasma levels (immunoassays) of total TFPI, platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB), and prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (PF 1 + 2) were evaluated pre-HD, after 10 (T10) and 180 (T180) minutes of HD in 21 patients, who completed a 3-period (for 2 months each) crossover study in 6 groups (Latin-square design). Results. The baseline TFPI, PDGF-AB, and PF 1 + 2 levels were comparable under all LMWH treatments. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor levels, compared with the baseline, significantly increased (all P < 10−4), whereas PDGF-AB levels remained stable at each interval during enoxaparin, nadroparin, and dalteparin anticoagulated HD. Interestingly, TFPI increment at T10 was the highest, dose-dependent, and accompanied by PF 1 + 2 decrease under enoxaparin administration. Conclusion. The switch from enoxaparin to nadroparin and dalteparin used as anticoagulants had no long-term effect on the baseline total TFPI and PF 1 + 2 levels in chronically HD patients. Only short-term, overdialytic differences were noticed, indicating a single bolus of enoxaparin (0.75 mg/kg) as the most potent stimulus for endothelial TFPI
