The effect of this dose is usually sufficient for a 4 hour sessionIf fibrin rings are found, a further dose of  0.5\u20131 mg\/kg may be givenFor patients with a high risk of  haemorrhage, the dose should be reduced to 0.5 mg\/kg for double vascular access or 0.75 mg\/kg for single vascular accessThe dose of protamine to neutralise  the effect of enoxaparin should equal the dose of enoxaparin: 50 anti-heparin units of protamine should neutralise the antifactor-Xa activity generated by 1 mg of enoxaparin. If prothrombin time is still raised 2\u20134 hours later give 0.5 mg\/kg infusion of protamine. (Hovanessian H. Letter. Annals of emergency medicine. 2006; 36(3): 278.)Rhone-Poulenc Rorer advise monitoring  of the antifactor-Xa activity, whatever the severity of the renal impairment, when treatment doses are being employed. They also advise monitoring patients if given prolonged treatment with prophylactic dosesLow molecular weight heparins are  renally excreted and hence accumulate in severe renal impairment. While the doses recommended for prophylaxis against DVT and prevention of thrombus formation in extracorporeal circuits are well tolerated in patients with ESRF, the doses recommended for treatment of DVT and PE have been associated with severe, sometimes fatal, bleeding episodes in such patients. Hence the use of unfractionated heparin would be preferable in these instancesAdditional doses may be required if using  LMWHs for anticoagulation in HDF<br \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enoxaparin sodium CLINICAL USE Prophylaxis of thromboembolic disorders of venous<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[7],"class_list":["post-3942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-post-by-auto-php"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3942\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
