Abstract
Dalteparin and tinzaparin significantly accumulate in HD patients at therapeutic doses. “Bridging therapy” with LMWHs at therapeutic doses in HD patients who require temporary interruption of warfarin therapy has the potential for complications and is of uncertain benefit. Other anticoagulation strategies, including no bridging therapy or intravenous heparin, need comparative evaluation in this unique patient population.
