Population pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics of fondaparinux in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients undergoing chronic renal replacement therapy.

Model-based simulations showed that standard dosing (2.5 mg three times weekly before HD) results in a median anti-Xa activity of 0.55 IU/mL and 0.98 IU/mL, pre- and post-low-flux HD, respectively. In patients undergoing high-flux HD, these values are approximately 27% lower. Additional caution is warranted with TPE, as this treatment can reduce anti-Xa activity even further.
