Anticoagulation Monitoring with Activated Partial ThromboPlastin Time and Anti-Xa Activity in Intensive Care Unit Patients: Interest of Thrombin Generation Assay.


ABSTRACT: Current guidelines recommend monitoring the anticoagulant effect of unfractionated heparin (UFH) by measuring anti-Xa activity rather than activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation of aPTT, anti-Xa activity, and thrombin generation in UFH-treated ICU patients. A prospective observational pilot study was conducted in adult surgical ICU patients treated with UFH. aPTT and anti-Xa activity were monitored daily. The therapeutic target was aPTT between 50 s and 84 s, and/or anti-Xa between 0.3 and 0.7 U/mL. Correlation among aPTT, anti-Xa activity, and thrombin generation was determined by measuring endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), with the inflammatory response evaluated. C-reactive protein (CRP) was used as a marker of inflammatory response. The plasma of 107 samples from 30 ICU patients was analyzed. The correlation between aPTT and anti-Xa activity was 0.66, CI95% [0.54;0.76] (p < 0.0001). Although thrombin generation, aPTT, and anti-Xa were correlated with inflammatory responses, the correlation was higher with thrombin generation and anti-Xa activity compared to aPTT. When aPTT was in a therapeutic range, a low thrombin generation was observed but was 50% inhibited when anti-Xa was in a therapeutic range. Coagulation testing with aPTT, anti-Xa correlated with thrombin generation. A 50% decrease in thrombin generation was observed when anti-Xa was within a therapeutic range. Further work is needed to evaluate coagulation biomarker responses and clinical outcomes in specific ICU populations.
