Unfractionated and low molecular weight heparin
Background Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is mostly obtained from porcine and bovine mucosa and has been widely used for the treatment and prevention of thrombotic events. It consists of molecular chains of various lengths varying from 2000 to 40,000 Da [1]. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are smaller chains of UFH that can be obtained, from unfractionated heparin, by various chemical and e...
متن کاملComparison of fixed-dose weight-adjusted unfractionated heparin and low-molecular-weight heparin for acute treatment of venous thromboembolism.
CONTEXT When unfractionated heparin is used to treat acute venous thromboembolism, it is usually administered by intravenous infusion with coagulation monitoring, which requires hospitalization. However, subcutaneous administration of fixed-dose, weight-adjusted, unfractionated heparin may be suitable for inpatient and outpatient treatment of venous thromboembolism. OBJECTIVE To determine if ...
متن کاملComparison of low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin sodium) and standard unfractionated heparin for haemodialysis anticoagulation.
BACKGROUND Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) has been suggested as providing safe, efficient, convenient and possibly more cost-effective anticoagulation for haemodialysis (HD) than unfractionated heparin, with fewer side-effects and possible benefits on uraemic dyslipidaemia. METHODS In this prospective, randomized, cross-over study we compared the safety, clinical efficacy and cost effect...
متن کاملSurgical bleeding after pre-operative unfractionated heparin and low molecular weight heparin for coronary bypass surgery.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Since the impairment of platelet function may cause excess peri-operative bleeding, pre-operative discontinuation of aspirin and heparin bridging are common for cardiac surgery. We evaluated the impact of pre-operative administration of enoxaparin and unfractionated heparin (UFH) on coagulation parameters and peri-operative bleeding in patients undergoing elective coro...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of low-molecular-weight heparin and unfractionated heparin in treatment of deep vein thrombosis.
BACKGROUND Acute deep vein thrombosis has traditionally been treated with unfractionated heparin (UFH), administered intravenously, but low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH), administered subcutaneously, have recently become available. The authors sought to determine which therapy was more cost-effective for inpatient and outpatient treatment of deep vein thrombosis. METHODS An incremental cos...
