Heparin can be monitored through:
a- APTT
b- INR
c- PT
d- IM
A Partial Thromboblastine Time (time taken by plasma to clot).
Heparin is an anticoagulant of immediate action.
Injection, the binding of heparin to antithrombin (formerly antithrombin III) significantly increases (x 1000) the natural activation of the inhibitor against thrombin, factor Xa and all the factors activated coagulation. This results in a potent anticoagulant activity which depends on the concentration of heparin, the concentration of antithrombin and those of coagulation factors. The term heparinemia is used for the measurement of heparin activity that results from these complex interactions.
Locally, the presence of heparin develops an anti-inflammatory and anti-oedematous effect.
Use case:
By injection, heparin is used in the management of:
- venous thromboembolic events,
- unstable angers,
- coagulopathies,
- extracerebral arterial emboli,
- massive pulmonary embolism,
- myocardial infarction in the acute phase,
- prevention of coagulation,
- deep thrombophlebitis.
Locally, in combination with diclofenac, heparin is used in the management of ankle sprains.
Locally, in combination with sweetclover, heparin is used in the management of:
- inflammatory hypodermitis of venous insufficiency,
- venolymphatic insufficiency,
- superficial inflammatory venous manifestations.
