Anti-factor Xa and activated partial thromboplastin time measurements for heparin monitoring in mechanical circulatory support.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the relationship between anti-factor Xa (anti-FXa) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) for monitoring intravenous unfractionated heparin (IV-UFH) in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs). BACKGROUND CF-LVADs have become mainstream therapy for patients with advanced heart failure. Thromboembolic events, device t...
متن کاملThe influence of free hemoglobin and bilirubin on heparin monitoring by activated partial thromboplastin time and anti-Xa assay.
CONTEXT Elevated free hemoglobin (Hb) and bilirubinemia complicate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and could affect unfractionated heparin (UH) therapy monitoring by anti-Xa assay and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). OBJECTIVES To compare in vitro response of anti-Xa and aPTT assays to UH in samples with artificial hyperbilirubinemia and hyperhemoglobinemia and to estimate if...
متن کاملInterlaboratory agreement in the monitoring of unfractionated heparin using the anti-factor Xa-correlated activated partial thromboplastin time.
BACKGROUND In an effort to improve interlaboratory agreement in the monitoring of unfractionated heparin (UFH), the College of American Pathologists (CAP) recommends that the therapeutic range of the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) be defined in each laboratory through correlation with a direct measure of heparin activity such as the factor Xa inhibition assay. Whether and to what ...
متن کاملActivated partial thromboplastin time versus antifactor Xa heparin assay in monitoring unfractionated heparin by continuous intravenous infusion.
BACKGROUND Unfractionated heparin (UFH) has been used clinically for 5 decades. Despite being a cornerstone of anticoagulation, UFH is limited by its unpredictable pharmacokinetic profile, which makes close laboratory monitoring necessary. The most common methods for monitoring UFH are the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and antifactor Xa heparin assay (anti-Xa HA), but both presen...
متن کاملConcordance between Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time and Antifactor Xa Assay for Monitoring Unfractionated Heparin in Hospitalized Hyperbilirubinemic Patients.
BACKGROUND Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and antifactor Xa (anti-Xa) monitoring methods for unfractionated heparin (UFH) often disagree. The extent of discordance for those with elevated bilirubin remains unclear. Our objective was to evaluate concordance between activated aPTT and anti-Xa methods for hyperbilirubinemic patients on UFH. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort s...
