Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine a preventative dose of study drug, Arixtra® for patients with kidney disease. We will measure the blood levels of Arixtra® in patients with kidney disease and develop guidelines for dosing.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Blood samples to measure specific Arixtra® concentration [• Three blood samples for PK analyses will be obtained within the 24 hour period immediately following either the third or fourth consecutive dose of Arixtra]
peak level will be collected 2-3 hours after the dose interval level will be collected between peak and midpoint midpoint level will be collected 12 hours after the dose interval level will be collected midpoint and trough trough level will be collected just prior to the next scheduled dose
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Frequency of bleeding events and new thrombotic events [Daily assessments will be made for bleeding and thrombosis]
events will be used to compare to rates in patients without renal dysfunction
