Give heparin to person but no change in PT or PTT - eu_phoria

[ArchivalUser]

since ATIII IS ALREADY DEF hep has no site of action.... hence no change in pt/aptt.

[ArchivalUser]

so AIII, as well as protein C and S?

[ArchivalUser]

does hepa inhibit C/S??? I thought Warfarin does that.....!!!!

[ArchivalUser]

I mean if ATIII is already deficient, there should be prolonged PT or PTT, why use heparin.

[ArchivalUser]

i have read somewhere that ,nowadays we prefer low molecular weight heparin...which does not require PT/PTT monitoring. Pl give ur comment on this collegues...

[ArchivalUser]

u r right,,,most of the cardiac facilities hardly use UFH .... LMWH jus as fine wit fewer copli n no need for monitor PT

[ArchivalUser]

so probably nothing is deficient in this pt...he is just fine..he he he..

[ArchivalUser]

guys.. heparin doesnt inhibits anti thrombin III b ut activates it.. its ANTI THROMBIN...

Think if heparin inhibits it , it will be causing thrombus not dissolving it

[ArchivalUser]

that is rigth euphoria...but are we talking about low molecular wt (Exaparin or whatever ) or ususal heparin an dif so what is the differance again ?
