Record 3 2004-05-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blood
  • Medication
DEF

A sulfated glycosaminoglycan of mixed polysaccharide nature varying in molecular weights and composed of polymers of alternating derivatives of D-glycosamine and L-iduronic acid or D-glucuronic acid.

OBS

It is released by mast cells and by basophils of the blood and is present in many tissues, especially the liver and lungs. Heparin is a mixture of active principles, some of which have potent anticoagulant properties that result from binding to and greatly enhancing the activity of antithrombin III and from inhibition of a number of coagulation factors, particularly activated factor X (factor Xa). Heparin also has lipotrophic properties, promoting transfer of fat from the blood to the fat depots by activation of lipoprotein lipase.

Record 5 2002-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
CONT

If relatively large doses have been employed, it may be necessary when reinstituting anticoagulant therapy to use somewhat larger doses of the prothrombin depressing anticoagulant, or to use one which acts on a different principle, such as heparin sodium.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Médicaments
CONT

Une résistance temporaire aux anticoagulants dépresseurs de la prothrombine peut se manifester, surtout quand on emploie de fortes doses de vitamine K1. Dans ce dernier cas, à la reprise de l'anticoagulothérapie, il peut être nécessaire d'employer le dépresseur de prothrombine à doses plus élevées ou d'employer un anticoagulant agissant d'après un principe différent comme l'héparine sodique.
