“…For very old patients, it should be common clinical practice to accurately adjust the dose to body weight, to regularly monitor platelet counts in a surgical context, to determine anti-Xa levels, and to correctly manage any interaction with other antithrombotic drugs. In their literature overview these guidelines further state that when used in full therapeutic doses, nadroparin clearance, but not tinzaparin clearance, was correlated with creatinine clearance (R=0.49; p<0.002), even when creatinine clearance was as low as 20 mL/min [25]. Guidelines report that enoxaparin (40 mg once daily), but not tinzaparin (4500 Units once daily), bio accumulate over 8 days of exposure [25].…”
