Heparin Natural Product
Porcine MW 5-30 kDa
Heparin accelerates the reaction of — with —
AT-III (antithrombin 3) with coagulation factors
Heparin — binds AT-III and induces —
irreversibly
conformational change
Heparin binds AT-III — times faster with what coagulation factors
1000x
II, X, XI and XII
Heparin - active coagulation factors bind — to AT-III at the — site. This prevents — generation
irreversibly
Arg-Ser
Fibrin
AT-III is a — substrate
suicide; it binds and doesnt let go
Heparin is an anticoagulant in
vitro
Heparin use in vivo
Tx of Venous Thrombosis
Tx of Pulmonary thromboembolism
Is Heparin approved in pregnant women
yes - it does not cross placenta
Heparin Administration
What administration is contraindicated
SC or IV
IM contraindicated - induce hematoma
how is Heparin montored
aPTT
How much does heparin increase aPTT
1.5 - 2.5 x
Heparin has a lipid clearing effect that
increase lipoprotein lipase activity
What does aPTT asses
intrinsic pathway and factors I, II and X
Heparin Adverse Effects
- bleeding
- Thrombocytopenia Type 1 and 2
Thrombocytopenia Type I
non-immune medicated platelet heparin interaction
Thrombocytopenia Type II
immune mediated; begins 4-10 days after tx
ab form to heparin-platelet factor 4 complex which binds to platelet surface causing aggregation
What should be monitored in long term use of unfractionated heparin
platelet count
