heparin, low-molecular-weight (medicine)


heparin, low-molecular-weight
<chemical> Heparin fractions with a molecular weight usually between 4000 and 6000 kD. These low-molecular-weight fractions are effective antithrombotic agents. Their administration reduces the risk of haemorrhage, they have a longer half-life, and their platelet interactions are reduced in comparison to unfractionated heparin. They also provide an effective prophylaxis against postoperative major pulmonary embolism.

Pharmacological action: anticoagulant, fibrinolytic agent.


GGT (medicine)


GGT -->
gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase
