Residual heparin may accumulate in ESRD hemodialysis patients; leaves open effects on anticoagulation management pending prospective data.
Do patients with ESRD on maintenance hemodialysis accumulate detectable amounts of circulating heparin?
Patients on maintenance hemodialysis may accumulate detectable amounts of residual heparin due to decreased renal clearance, which could impact anticoagulation management.
Kaneva et al. (2013) studied this question.
