Popis: Severe nephrotic syndrome (NS) is associated with high risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE), as well as presumably altered heparin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Although prophylactic anticoagulation is recommended, the optimal dose is not established. The aim of the study was to test two co-primary hypotheses: of reduced enoxaparin effectiveness and of the need for dose-adjustment in NS. Forty two nephrotic patients with serum albumin ≤2.5 g/dL were alternately assigned to a standard fixed-dose of enoxaparin (NS-FD: 40 mg/day) or ideal body weight (IBW)-based adjusted-dose (NS-AD: 1 mg/kg/day). Twenty one matched non-proteinuric individuals (C-FD) also received fixed-dose. Co-primary outcomes were: the achievement of low- and high-VTE risk threshold of antifactor-Xa activity (anti-FXa) defined as 0.2 IU/mL and 0.3 IU/mL, respectively. Low-VTE-risk threshold was achieved less often in NS-FD than C-FD group (91 vs. 62%, p = 0.024), while the high-VTE-risk threshold more often in NS-AD than in NS-FD group (90 vs. 38%, p < 0.001). Two VTE were observed in NS during 12 months of follow-up (incidence: 5.88%/year). In both cases anti-FXa were 0.3 IU/mL implying the use of anti-FXa >0.3 IU/mL as a target for dose-adjustment logistic regression models. We determined the optimal dose/IBW cut-off value at 0.8 mg/kg and further developed bivariate model (termed the DoAT model) including dose/IBW and antithrombin activity that improved the diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.85 ± 0.06 vs. AUC 0.75 ± 0.08). Enoxaparin efficacy is reduced in severe NS and the dose should be adjusted to ideal body weight to achieve target anti-FXa activity.
