Low Molecular Weight Heparin

Preferred Label : Low Molecular Weight Heparin;

NCIt synonyms : LMWH;

NCIt related terms : Low-molecular-weight heparin;

NCIt definition : Substances comprised of fragmented heparin molecules derived from unfractionated heparin that bind to antithrombin III with a molecular weight ranging from 1000 to 10,000 daltons, which causes changes in property from unfractionated heparin, including decreased protein binding, enhanced bioavailability, decreased platelet interaction, and decreased binding to thrombin.;

Alternative definition : ACC/AHA: Low-molecular-weight heparin compounds are fractions of heparin that primarily act by inhibiting the activated clotting factor X. Examples include enoxaparin and dalteparin.;
