In order to define the optimal dosage of a low molecular weight enoxaparine (Lovenox) in the prevention of clotting in extracorporeal circulation during hemodialysis, a multicentre trial was conducted in 72 patients dialysed in seven hemodialysis units. During three weeks, these patients received as antithrombic treatment a single injection of enoxaparine at the beginning of the session. The initial dose fixed by previous data concerning dialysis with high hemorrhagic risks patients was 0.5 mg/kg (50 U1 Anti-Xa/kg). According to the evaluation of thrombotic manifestations during a 4 hour dialysis, the dosage was progressively increased if necessary for each patient. For 41% patients, the initial dose of 0.5 mg/kg was maintained along the whole study; 59% patients needed higher dose, between 0.6 and 0.9 mg/kg. The mean dose for the whole patient population at the end of the study was 0.62 +/- 0.16 mg/kg. No complication nor side effect was noted. The influence of blood flow, nature of dialysis membrane, level of hematocrit was studied. In conclusion, 0.5 mg/kg of enoxaparine can prevent thrombotic manifestations in almost half of chronic hemodialysed patients with good results. Further studies could precise the place of personal or technical parameters in the choice of the optimal dose for each patient.
