Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Blood samples to measure specific Arixtra® concentration• Three blood samples for PK analyses will be obtained within the 24 hour period immediately following either the third or fourth consecutive dose of Arixtra

peak level will be collected 2-3 hours after the dose interval level will be collected between peak and midpoint midpoint level will be collected 12 hours after the dose interval level will be collected midpoint and trough trough level will be collected just prior to the next scheduled dose

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Frequency of bleeding events and new thrombotic eventsDaily assessments will be made for bleeding and thrombosis

events will be used to compare to rates in patients without renal dysfunction
