Establishing the heparin therapeutic range using aPTT and anti-Xa measurements for monitoring unfractionated heparin therapy
BACKGROUND Unfractionated heparin (UFH) has unstable pharmacokinetics and requires close monitoring. The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) test has been used to monitor UFH therapy for decades in Korea, but its results can be affected by numerous variables. We established an aPTT heparin therapeutic range (HTR) corresponding to therapeutic anti-Xa levels for continuous intravenous UF...

متن کاملThe use and limitations of unfractionated heparin.
Despite the development of newer anticoagulants, unfractionated heparin remains an indispensible agent in the treatment of thrombotic disorders. Heparin exerts its major effect via antithrombin, converting antithrombin to a more efficient inhibitor of circulating thrombin (factor IIa), factor Xa, factor IXa, factor XIIa, and kallikrein. However, due to the multiple anticoagulant mechanisms of h...
متن کاملEconomics of unfractionated heparin: beyond acquisition cost.
Despite numerous clinical trials demonstrating advantages of new anticoagulants, unfractionated heparin (UFH) is still used by a number of clinicians in the United States. The reason for this continued use of UFH is not superior efficacy, improved safety, or convenience, but low acquisition cost. However, several other costs associated with the use of UFH are often not considered. Appropriate e...
