  2. Antithrombin III deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antithrombin_III_deficiency

    Low molecular weight heparin at full weight based dosing is effective; however, measurements of peak anti-Xa levels may not reflect anticoagulant effect. Vitamin K antagonists, and direct oral anticoagulants, including anti-Xa inhibitors and thrombin inhibitors have also been used, though data is limited. [6]

  3. Low-molecular-weight heparin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-molecular-weight_heparin

    Results are given in units/mL of anti-factor Xa, such that high values indicate high levels of anticoagulation and low values indicate low levels of anticoagulation in the plasma sample. [ 17 ] LMWHs have a targeted therapeutic window of approximately 0.6–1.2 IU/ml. LMWH has a potency of 70 units/mg of anti-factor Xa activity and a ratio of ...

  4. Heparin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heparin

    Native heparin is a polymer with a molecular weight ranging from 3 to 30 kDa, although the average molecular weight of most commercial heparin preparations is in the range of 12 to 15 kDa. [60] Heparin is a member of the glycosaminoglycan family of carbohydrates (which includes the closely related molecule heparan sulfate ) and consists of a ...

  5. Direct factor Xa inhibitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_factor_Xa_inhibitors

    Prior to the introduction of direct factor Xa inhibitors, vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin were the only oral anticoagulants for over 60 years, and together with heparin have been the main blood thinners in use. People admitted to hospital requiring blood thinning were started on an infusion of heparin infusion, which thinned blood ...

  6. Antithrombin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antithrombin

    Antithrombin (AT) is a small glycoprotein that inactivates several enzymes of the coagulation system. It is a 464-amino-acid protein produced by the liver.It contains three disulfide bonds and a total of four possible glycosylation sites. α-Antithrombin is the dominant form of antithrombin found in blood plasma and has an oligosaccharide occupying each of its four glycosylation sites.

  7. Tinzaparin sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinzaparin_sodium

    Tinzaparin is an antithrombotic drug in the heparin group. It is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) marketed as Innohep worldwide. It has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for once daily treatment and prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).

  8. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heparin-induced...

    Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is the development of thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count), due to the administration of various forms of heparin, an anticoagulant. HIT predisposes to thrombosis (the abnormal formation of blood clots inside a blood vessel ).

  9. Danaparoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danaparoid

    Danaparoid is a low molecular weight heparinoid devoid of heparin. It consists of a mixture of heparan sulfate , dermatan sulfate , and chondroitin sulfate . [ 2 ] It is chemically distinct from heparin, has different protein-binding properties because of its low degree of sulphation and low surface charge density and thus has little cross ...
