Table 2 Comparison of markers of coagulation during CVVH in arterial and postfilter blood between randomized groups

From: Hemostasis during low molecular weight heparin anticoagulation for continuous venovenous hemofiltration: a randomized cross-over trial comparing two hemofiltration rates

during CVVH and nadroparin infusion (arterial)

during CVVH (postfilter)

  1. Values are medians (interquartile range) of all samples. Postfilter values are actual values, not corrected for hemoconcentration
  2. aPTT = activated thromboplastin time; CVVH = continuous venovenous hemofiltration; ETP = endogenous thrombin potential; ETPAUC = area under the curve of the thrombin generation curve; ETPCmax = maximal activity of ETP; ETPTlag = ETP lag time = ETPTmax = time to max ETP activity; F1+2 = prothrombin fragment; PTT = prothrombin time; TAT = thrombin-antithrombin complexes.
