The current study aims to evaluate whether prophylactic anticoagulation using argatroban or an increased dose of unfractionated heparin (UFH) is effective in achieving the targeted activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) of more than 45 s in critically ill heparin-resistant (HR) patients. Patients were randomized either to continue receiving an increased dose of UFH, or to be treated with argatroban. The endpoints were defined as achieving an aPTT target of more than 45 s at 7 h and 24 h. This clinical trial was registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01734252) and on EudraCT (2012-000487-23). A total of 42 patients, 20 patients in the heparin and 22 in the argatroban group, were included. Of the patients with continued heparin treatment 55% achieved the target aPTT at 7 h, while only 40% of this group maintained the target aPTT after 24 h. Of the argatroban group 59% reached the target aPTT at 7 h, while at 24 h 86% of these patients maintained the targeted aPTT. Treatment success at 7 h did not differ between the groups (p = 0.1000), whereas at 24 h argatroban showed significantly greater efficacy (p = 0.0021) than did heparin. Argatroban also worked better in maintaining adequate anticoagulation in the further course of the study. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of bleeding or thromboembolic complications between the treatment groups. In the case of heparin-resistant critically ill patients, argatroban showed greater efficacy than did an increased dose of heparin in achieving adequate anticoagulation at 24 h and in maintaining the targeted aPTT goal throughout the treatment phase.

This review devoted to the nephrotic syndrome (NS) subsequent thrombotic outcomes. The pathogenesis of hypercoagulation disorders that cause venous and arterial vascular system thrombosis are studied. Discussed procoagulant and anticoagulant mechanisms imbalance due to the anticoagulants natural urinal loss, affected by disfunction of the glomerular filter selective permeability, leading to high molecular weight liver-derived proteins (at least of the albumin size) leakage, fibrinolysis depression, excessive liver synthesis of plasma clotting cascade factors and platelet activation. Presented new data on the thrombogenesis at NS concerning the role of endothelial microparticles with high prothrombogenic activity that go from damaged glomerulus endothelial capillary cells into the systemic circulation, which can turn the local renal hypercoagulation (concomitant to the kidney immune inflammation process) into the generalized, working towards the thrombosis development. The most frequent adverse variants of arterial and venous thromboses are studied, specified their basic and general risk factors, as well as individual, varying in different patients. Indications and prophylactic anticoagulant therapy regimen and thrombosis treatment duration in patients with NS are discussed. It also stressed that the decision on time and method of anticoagulant therapy for a NS patients is still a challenge for healthcare providers.

The association between nephrotic syndrome (NS) and a hypercoagulable state has been demonstrated. Controlling the blood clotting activity may therefore be attractive for patients with nephrosis in terms of thromboembolism prophylaxis. We herein report a 75-year-old woman with minimal change disease who developed pains in the right back, groin, and thigh because of retroperitoneal bleeding during prophylactic anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin. Although this procedure has not been accepted as the standard of care for patients with nephrosis, pharmacologic prophylaxis may already be practiced empirically, as in the present patient. We believe that our experience highlights the pitfalls of such a management in patients with nephrosis, implying the need for a diagnostic strategy for identifying those patients with NS who can benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation. Several concerns that emerged in this case are also discussed.
