Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To determine whether point of care (POC) International Normalized Ratio (INR) test results correlate with plasma INR measures in hemodialysis patients.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    37 chronic hemodialysis patients being anticoagulated with warfarin require INR monitoring routinely.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    37 dialysis patients

    37 chronic hemodialysis patients on warfarin requiring Laboratory INR monitoring for anticoagulation management.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. To determine whether Point of Care INR testing would be suitable in the management of dialysis patients on chronic warfarin therapy [Not an intervention study, but observational in this cohort]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Determine whether Point of Care INR devices maintain test accuracy in dialysis patients who are temporarily anemic (HCT <32%) according to their CBC [Not an intervention study, but observational in the cohort (statistics completed 1.5 yrs)]
