REMARK: Possibility to Stop Perdialytic Heparin Therapy in Hemodialysed Patients With HeprAN ™ Membrane and Treated by Long-term Anticoagulation With VKA
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Use HeprAN ™ membrane (coated with heparin) should be allow the success of dialysis sessions, with adequate dialysis parameters, in patients treated by long-term anticoagulation with VKA, without addition of heparin perdialytic.
Less use of heparin (UFH or LMWH) during hemodialysis session should be allow a decrease of bleedings (moderate or major) and blood transfusions for hemodialysed patients with HeprAN ™ membrane and treated by long-term anticoagulation with VKA

Detailed Description
The aim will be to study possibility of hemodialysis sessions success, without perdialytic anticoagulation but with adequate dialysis parameters (defined by the patient's Kt / V machine), in patients treated by long-term anticoagulation with VKA and dialysed with the HeprAN ™ membrane.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: single-arm study Chronic hemodialysis patients for at least 3 months at Reims University Hospital, treated by long-term anticoagulation with VKA and dialysed with the HeprAN ™ membrane |
Drug: Decrease per-dialytic heparin therapy
Week 1: maintenance's dose stop Week 2: 50% drop in the loading dose Week 3: complete cessation of heparin therapy during the session.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Failure of heparin withdrawal in patients treated by long-term anticoagulation with VKA and dialysed with the HeprAN ™ membrane, verify adequate dialysis parameters [3 weeks]
Failure is defined by early interruption of the dialysis session (<95% of the prescribed time) for : extracorporeal circuit coagulation recurrent venous pressure alarm causing blood pump shutdown or Lower quality of dialysis compared to the quality before stopping perdialytic anticoagulation (defined as Kt/V less than - 2SD for 3 consecutive sessions)
