Anticlotting agent found on endothelial-cell surfaces that binds antithrombin III to tissues and is used as an anticoagulant drug.

A drug that may be added to the solution used to flush eggs out of ovarian follicles during egg retrieval; its purpose is to prevent blood clotting within the fluid that harbors the egg.
a medication that makes the blood less likely to clot; used to treat many medical conditions, including pulmonary embolism; is given intravenously or subcutaneously.
A naturally occurring 'anticoagulant', or substance that stops blood from clotting. Used in medicine generally to prevent or to treat thrombosis, and sometimes in pregnancy to reduce the risk of miscarriage in someone who has had recurrent miscarriage s by improving blood flow in the placenta. Administered by injection under the skin.
A sulphur containing polysaccharide that stops blood from clotting by preventing the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and by neutralizing thrombin. It is contained in the mast cells and is extractable from various tissues, notably the lung.
A substance given to prolong blood clotting time, allowing blood to flow through the artificial kidney without clotting.
An anticoagulant; it prevents blood clotting by indirectly inhibiting the formation of fibrin (the chief protein component of blood clots).
(noun) a naturally occurring substance which is a powerful short acting anticoagulant (prevents blood clotting); is essential for the performance of open heart surgery.
A blood thinner or family of blood thinners that is given to some patients before and after surgery to prevent clotting. Usually in the form of injection to the stomach.
a polysaccharide produced in basophils (especially in the lung and liver) and that inhibit the activity of thrombin in coagulation of the blood; heparin sodium (trade names Lipo-Hepin and Liquaemin) is used as an anticoagulant in the treatment of thrombosis and in heart surgery
Heparin is a blood thinning medicine that is routinely prescribed for the treatment of clotting disorders, including treatment of clots in the coronary arteries (causing heart attacks), clots in the blood vessels of the brain (leading to stroke), clots that occur in leg veins ( deep vein thrombosis) or clots that obstruct blood flow to the lungs (pulmonary emboli). An estimated 5-6 million patients with cardiovascular disease receive heparin each year. In addition, an equivalent or greater number of patients take heparin for other indications, including during heart surgery or dialysis, or for the prevention of blood clots.
It is a drug that when injected in the proper dosage is a blood thinner and prevents the blood from clotting. It is a natural substance in the body of all persons produced by the liver and lungs.
An injectable form of anticoagulant (blood thinner).
An anticoagulant produced naturally in liver cells, instillations of Heparin into the bladder have proved to reduce symptoms in some IC patients due to it's inflammatory properties.
A medicine used to slow the clotting of the blood.
A blood thinner given as an injection to prevent blood clots from forming.
A blood thinner given into the vein (i.v.) or into the skin (s.c.).
a blood thinner, released into the body by degranulation
a blood thinning medication.
Substance added to blood during hemodialysis to prevent it from clotting in the dialyzer.
An anticoagulant given in hemodialysis to slow clotting time so that blood will not clot in the lines or dialyzer.
A type of blood thinner or anticoagulant given by injection.
A type of anticoagulant drug that prevents clotting by affecting the blood component fibrinogen.
A chemical released by basophils and mast cells that causes nearby tissues to become swollen and inflamed.
a chemical found in many tissues, especially the liver, that prevents blood clotting. Heparin is released by basophils and mast cells in inflammatory and allergic responses. It is used therapeutically to prevent blood coagulation.
An anticoagulant given to prevent blood clots forming search for Heparin
A medicine used to flush the central venous catheter when it is capped and not in use. This keeps the catheter from clotting.
An anticoagulant (anti-clotting) medication. Heparin is useful in preventing thromboembolic complications (clots that travel from their site of origin through the blood stream to clog up another vessel). Heparin is also used in the early treatment of blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolisms).
a potent anticoagulant secreted by many tissues.
A mucoploysaccharide that is produced by the basophils and mast cells in the connective tissue surrounding the capillaries and in the lungs and liver and acts as an antithrombin factor ( anticoagulant to thin the blood). It is often used by doctors to refer to heparin calcium or heparin sodium which are medications used to thin the blood.
a drug given directly into a vein which thins the blood when there is a danger of clotting (an anticoagulant)
a medication that thins the blood to prevent and treat blood clots
drug that inhibits blood clotting hepatitis inflammation of the liver; viral disease spread through contaminated food, water, feces, blood, and bodily fluid; associated with alcoholism and intravenous drug use
an anticoagulant; prevents the blood from clotting
a naturally-occurring substance used to prevent the clotting of blood and used to treat thrombosis.
An injectable drug that can be used to thin blood and inhibit blood clots by increasing the body's production of antithrombin. Heparin also may be used to prevent enlargement of clots that have already formed.
A drug that helps prevent blood clots from forming. It belongs to the family of drugs called anticoagulants (blood thinners).
Heparin is a natural substance which inhibits blood clotting.
A drug that inhibits blood clotting. Heparin must be given intravenously or subcutaneously. New forms of heparin offer many new applications, including home administration by patients themselves. Heparin has three primary uses: 1) after heart attack to prevent clotting; 2) during and following cardiovascular surgery to prevent clotting and pulmonary embolism; and 3) as preventive therapy against pulmonary embolism after other major surgical procedures.
An anticoagulant released by activated basophils and mast cells.
An anticoagulant commonly used to prevent the formation of new blood clots (rethrombosis) in the acute myocardial infarction (MI) patient; also used to prevent blood clotting during open-heart surgery.
An anticoagulant medication. Heparin is useful in preventing blood clots from forming and in the treatment of existing blood clots to prevent them from getting larger.
an anticoagulant (blood thinner) that prevents new blood clots from forming or ones already present from getting bigger. Does not dissolve clots already present.
A drug that thins the blood and helps to prevent abnormal blood clotting.
A chemical that prevents blood from clotting.
A injection-administered blood thinner frequently used to treat antiphospholipid syndrome and types of thrombophilia.
Substance released by mast cells; important in the inflammatory response. Prevents plasma from clotting.
A negatively charged polysaccharide found that naturally prolongs the time it takes blood to clot by catalyzing anti-thrombin III. It is normally found in lung and gut mucosa.
Naturally occurring anticoagulant polysaccharide stored by mast cells.
Heparin is a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan widely used as an injectable anticoagulant. It is also used to form an inner anticoagulant surface on various experimental and medical devices such as test tubes and renal dialysis machines. Pharmaceutical grade heparin is commonly derived from mucosal tissues of slaughtered meat animals such as porcine intestine or bovine lung.
