Text: Ten haemodialysed patients were studied during regular dialysis sessions on a cellulose triacetate membrane (CT 110 G ; 1. 10 m (2) ; Baxter), with four different random heparin protocols : one high-UFH regimen (HHR) at 90 IU/kg body-weight (b. w.) and one low-UFH regimen (LHR) at 50 IU/kg b. w., and with a LMWH (nadroparin calcium) at 85 (HHR) or 45 (LHR) IU/kg b. w. Blood granulocytes, platelet counts, and plasma granulocyte degranulation products (elastase, lactoferrin) were measured serially during 4 h dialysis sessions.
