Key result
A single 40 mg subcutaneous dose of enoxaparin resulted in an anti-factor Xa activity of 0.14 IU mL-1 at 24 hours, remaining within the prophylactic reference range despite normal renal function.
Case Report (n=1)

Piotr F. Czempik (2024) conducted a case report in Post-operative state with epidural catheter in situ and high risk of venous thromboembolism (n=1). Enoxaparin was evaluated on Anti-factor Xa activity at 24 hours post-injection. A single 40 mg subcutaneous dose of enoxaparin resulted in an anti-factor Xa activity of 0.14 IU mL-1 at 24 hours, remaining within the prophylactic reference range despite normal renal function.
