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 ...

There are two formulations of heparins, unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), used in clinical practice. Unfractionated heparin is used for both therapeutic ...

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 ...
