Official Title: A Randomised, Multicenter, Open-Label, Parallel Group Study to Assess the Safety of PEG-Hirudin (SPP200) Compared to Unfractionated Heparin as Anticoagulant Treatment in Patients Undergoing Haemodialy

Brief Summary: The study will look at the safety profile (unwanted effects) of the long-lasting anticoagulant PEG-hirudin (SPP200) and compare these unwanted effects to those of unfractionated heparin, commonly used in haemodialysis to avoid clotting of the graft and of the haemodialysis machine.
