This webinar will look at the principles of the assays available to monitor heparin. The most frequent assay that is used is the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). This assay is readily ...

In conclusion, monitoring intravenous UFH infusions with the anti-Xa HA compared to aPTT results in a more ... and fewer laboratory tests and heparin dosage changes. Our results provide additional ...

Background: Both the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and anti-Xa assay can be used to monitor unfractionated heparin (UFH). Following implementation of an anti-Xa method for heparin ...

Monitoring drug activity is not usually necessary for LMWH unlike unfractionated heparin which requires close monitoring of the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Measuring factor Xa ...

However, current treatment options, such as heparin and warfarin, have major drawbacks, including the need for regular monitoring of blood coagulation and the risk of serious bleeding in the event ...
