Abstract
Data regarding the use of low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) and glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists in patients with renal failure are limited. Renal failure has the potential to increase the risk of adverse drug events associated with LMWHs and GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists. This is due to changes in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of these agents in patients with renal failure. Until more data are available, clinicians should consider alternative therapies in this patient population.Entities:
