Thromboelastography and Traditional Coagulation Testing in Non-ICU-Admitted Patients with Acute Kidney Injury: An Observational Cohort Study.

Most non-ICU-admitted patients with AKI had normal-to-enhanced hemostasis and activated platelet function based on TEG results, as well as a high rate of premature circuit clotting when receiving heparin-free protocol despite thrombocytopenia. Further studies are needed to better determine the use of TEG in respect to management of anticoagulation and bleeding complications in AKI patients with KRT.
