Treatment of deep venous thrombosis with low molecular weight heparins.
BACKGROUND An intravenous course of unfractionated heparin adjusted on the basis of the activated partial thromboplastin time is the initial treatment of choice for most patients with venous thromboembolism. Recently introduced low-molecular-weight heparin preparations can be administered subcutaneously, once or twice daily, without laboratory monitoring. We quantitatively assessed the relative...
متن کاملLow-molecular-weight heparins in the treatment of venous thromboembolism
Recent studies have indicated that certain low-molecular-weight heparins given subcutaneously may replace continuous intravenous unfractionated heparin for the treatment of venous thromboembolism. Low-molecular-weight heparins have a predictably high absorption rate when given subcutaneously and they do not require laboratory monitoring. These characteristics of low-molecular-weight heparin the...
متن کاملVariability of heparins and heterogeneity of low molecular weight heparins.
Chemical and physical characteristics, building blocks, constitutive disaccharides, sulfation degree, and biological activities of heparins (UFHs) and of low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) obtained by different depolymerization processes are examined comparatively in terms of structure characteristics, content of 1,6-anhydro rings, and other fingerprints. The heterogeneity of different LMWHs...
متن کاملDifferentiation of the low-molecular-weight heparins.
The three low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) available in the United States have been extensively evaluated for a wide array of indications. Properties associated with one LMWH cannot be assumed to be the same as those associated with another LMWH, as they are different pharmacologic entities. Therefore, therapeutic interchange of these agents is inappropriate. The pharmacokinetic and pharma...
متن کاملLow-molecular-weight heparins and heparinoids.
Several low molecular weight (LMW) heparin preparations, including dalteparin, enoxaparin and nadroparin, as well as the heparinoid danaparoid sodium, are approved for use in Australia. LMW heparins are replacing unfractionated heparin for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism and the treatment of non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndromes. The advantages of LMW heparins...
