HYPERCOAGULABLE STATES IN RENAL TRANSPLANT CANDIDATES: IMPACT OF ANTICOAGULATION UPON INCIDENCE OF RENAL ALLOGRAFT THROMBOSIS

Abstract

Long-term allograft function has been achieved in 90% of study patients when prophylactically anticoagulating study patients with hypercoagulable states. A 2.6-fold reduction in the expected incidence of allograft thrombosis was observed in anticoagulated patients with hypercoagulable states.
