Factor Xa Inhibitor Reversal

Anticoagulant Half-life Removed by HD Strategies to reverse or minimize anticoagulant effects
Apixaban[1] (Eliquis®) 8-15 hrs (longer in renal impairment) No
  • If ingested within 2 hours, administer activated charcoal
  • 4-factor PCC (Kcentra™)^
    • 25units/kg—max 2500 units for treatment of documented intracranial hemorrhage
    • 50 units/kg—max 5000 units for all other life-threatening bleeds
Edoxaban[2] (Savaysa®) 10-14 hrs (longer in renal impairment) ~ 25% As above
Rivaroxaban[3] (Xarelto®) 9-13 hrs (longer in renal impairment) No As above
Fondaparinux (Arixtra®) 17-21 hrs (significantly longer in renal impairment) No 4-factor PCC (Kcentra™)^ 50 units/kg—max 5000 units

Andexanet alfa

FDA approved in May 2018, limited availability June 2018

  • Cost is $20,000 to $55,000 per dose
  • Trial that led to FDA approval does not have the most sound evidence behind it [4]:
    • Prospective single center single group study of 352 patients receiving a Factor Xa Inhibitor (apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, enoxaparin) with life threatening bleed (those with expected survival <1 month were excluded).
    • Anti-Factor Xa activity was decreased in all groups. 82% were judged to have excellent hemostatic control. 14% mortality rate at 30 days.
    • No comparison group available. It is unlikely that following anti-Factor Xa activity as a lab value is clinically important. High mortality rate even after excluding sick patients.


Low Dose

400 mg IV bolus at rate of ~30 mg/minute, followed 2 minutes later by 4 mg/minute for up to 120 minutes

High Dose

800 mg IV bolus at rate of ~30 mg/minute, followed 2 minutes later by 8 mg/minute for up to 120 minutes

Direct Thrombin Inhibitor

Anticoagulants Half-life Removed by HD Strategies to reverse or minimize anticoagulant effects
Argatroban 40-50 min ~ 20% Turn off infusion
Bivalirudin (Angiomax®) 25 min (up to 1 hr in severe renal impairment) ~ 25% As above
Dabigatran[5] (Pradaxa®) 14-17 hrs (up to 34 hrs in severe renal impairment) ~ 65%
  • If ingested within 2 hours, administer activated charcoal
  • Idarucizumab (Praxbind®) 5g IV
  • For end stage renal disease patient with pre-existing vascular access, consult nephrology to consider dialysis.

Heparins

Anticoagulants Half-life Removed by HD Strategies to reverse or minimize anticoagulant effects
Dalteparin (Fragmin®) 3-5 hrs (longer in renal impairment) ~ 20%
  • Use protamine for partial neutralization (~60%)
  • Protamine IV:
    • < 8 hours since last dose: Protamine 50mg
    • 8-12 hours since last dose: Protamine 25mg
    • >12 hours since last dose: Unlikely useful unless CrCl < 30 mL/min (or 25mg fixed dose)
  • Dose of protamine for each 100 units dalteparin or 1mg of enoxaparin administered
  • Obtain baseline anti-Xa activity level
  • Monitor anti-Xa activity level to confirm reversal
Enoxaparin (Lovenox®) 3-5 hrs (longer in renal impairment) ~ 20% As above
Unfractionated heparin 30-90 min (dose dependent) Partial

Warfarin (Coumadin®)

INR Clinical scenario Management
Any Serious or life-threatening bleed
  • Hold warfarin
  • Give vitamin K 10mg IV infusion over 30 minutes
  • Give FFP/plasma or
  • Consider 4-factor PCC (Kcentra™)—preferred for life-threatening bleeds
> 10 No bleeding
  • Hold warfarin until INR in therapeutic range
  • Consider vitamin K 2.5mg oral or 1-2mg IV infusion over 30 minutes (IV administration of vitamin K has faster onset of action)
Rapid reversal required
  • Hold warfarin
  • Consider vitamin K 2.5mg oral or 1-2mg IV infusion over 30 minutes (IV administration of vitamin K has faster onset of action)
4.5-10 No bleeding
  • Hold warfarin until INR in therapeutic range
  • Consider vitamin K 2.5mg oral
Rapid reversal required
  • Hold warfarin
  • Consider vitamin K 2.5mg oral or 1mg IV infusion (IV administration of vitamin K has faster onset of action)
< 4.5 No bleeding
  • Hold warfarin until INR in therapeutic range
Rapid reversal required
