It usually occurs at the site of injection, and typically develops within 2 weeks of starting therapy. However, in our case, we presented a 62-year-old woman who is on Hemodialysis twice a week. Her hemodialysis prescription included Enoxaparine 0.2 cc IV as anticoagulant. On her third month of regular hemodialysis, she developed skin necrosis on her right leg and left hand. The diagnosis was made clinically and by exclusion of other possible causes of skin necrosis in a chronic kidney disease patient, such as calciphylaxis. The most important aspect of management, in this case, is early recognition and withdrawal of its use, which were done in our patient.展开更多

文摘Objective:To investigate the effect of heparin on fibrinogen detection by Clauss method.Methods:A normal plasma pool(NPP)of 20 healthy people was prepared with 3.2%sodium citrate anticoagulant.For experimental group 1,samples containing different concentrations of heparin were prepared.For experimental group 2,samples of experimental group 1 were diluted twice.For experimental group 3,samples of experimental group 1 were diluted 4 times.For the control group,samples of normal saline with the same volume as heparin in experimental group 1 were prepared.The fibrinogen contents of experimental group 1,experimental group 2,experimental group 3,and control group were detected by Clauss method and prothrombin time(PT)-derived method,and the fibrinogen detection results of different groups were analyzed.Results:The trend of fibrinogen detected by Clauss method and PT-derived method in experimental group 1 was different;there was significant difference between the results of experimental group 1 and the control group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference between the results of experimental group 2 and the control group(P>0.05);there was no significant difference between the results of experimental group 3 and the control group(P>0.05);there was no significant difference between the results of experimental group 2 and experimental group 3(P>0.05);the relative deviation between experimental group 1 and the control group was higher in high-concentration heparin sample.Conclusion:Heparin affects fibrinogen detection by Clauss method,and the effect can be reduced by sample dilution.
