The effects of minimal intermittent heparinization and of conventional heparinization on endogen fibrinogen concentration as well as on fibrin deposits were studied on 17 on patients hemodialysis. It was shown that the minimal intermittent heparinization did non reduce dialysis efficiency and that a total heparin dosage of 6,000 units is the lowest safe limit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
