Mean difference TEG MAKH (platelet-fibrin clot strength) between V2 \[after run-in period / 8 weeks of HD statin therapy\] and V5 \[end of study/ 8 weeks of continued HD statin therapy + evolocumab\] Thromboelastography (TEG) is a viscoelastic hemostatic assay that measures the global viscoelastic properties of whole blood clot formation under low shear stress. TEG shows the interaction of platelets with the coagulation cascade (aggregation, clot strengthening, and fibrin cross-linking). MAKH is a measure of maximum platelet-fibrin clot strength. The normal range for MAKH is 53-68mm.
