Blood coagulation prevention

Dextran sulfate is used as a blood coagulation prevention agent. 

The main goal of recessively inherited coagulation disorder (RICD) treatment is to prevent and control spontaneous and surgery-related bleeding episodes. Specifically, therapeutic options improve hemostasis via replacement of deficient blood coagulation factors while minimizing the development of immune tolerance.20... 

Platelets play a role in each of the mechanisms of normal hemostasis vasoconstriction, formation of the platelet plug, and blood coagulation. However, they are also involved in pathological processes that lead to atherosclerosis and thrombosis (formation of a blood clot within the vascular system). Antiplatelet drugs interfere with platelet function and are used to prevent the development of atherosclerosis and formation of arterial thrombi. 

It is believed that heparin acts by neutralizing a number of active blood coagulation factors, thus disrupting the transformation of prothrombin into thrombin. Heparin is used to prevent thrombo-formation in myocardial infarctions, thrombosis, and embolism, for maintaining liquid conditions in the blood in artificial blood drcnlation and hemodialysis. Synonyms of this drug are arteven, hepalen, leparan, Uquemin, panheprin, vetren, and many others. 

Extracorporeal dialysis Follow equipment manufacturers operating directions. Laboratory samples Add 70 to 150 units per 10 to 20 mL sample of whole blood to prevent coagulation of sample.

Mectianism of Action A factorXa inhibitor and pentasaccharide that selectively binds to antithrombin, and increases its affinity for factor Xa, thereby inhibiting factor Xa and stopping the blood coagulation cascade. Therapeutic Effect Indirectly prevents formation of thrombin and subsequently the fibrin clot. 

Mechanism of Action A blood modifier that interferes with blood coagulation by blocking conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and fibrinogen to fibrin Therapeutic Effect Prevents further extension of existing thrombi or new clot formation. Has no effect on existing clots.

EDTA is used in the separation of the rare earth elements. EDTA complexes have a stability that varies slightly from the rare earth elements. This slight variation allows EDTA to effectively separate rare-earth ions. EDTA is used as an anti-coagulant in blood. It prevents coagulation by sequestering the calcium ions required for clotting251. 

When blood clots, a plasma protein called fibrinogen is converted to fibrin, which forms a network of threads. Blood cells become enmeshed in this network and form the clot. The clear fluid formed as the clot retracts is the serum. When citrate, heparin, or some other anticoagulant is added to blood to prevent clotting and the cells are removed by centrifugation, the fluid remaining is plasma. Plasma differs from serum in that it contains fibrinogen and certain other coagulation factors not contained in serum. 

Two types of drugs are employed in preventing blood coagulation, heparin and the vitamin K antagonists. Their mechanisms of action differ, as do their clinical uses. 

Q10 Yes, aspirin is used in the secondary prevention of a further stroke. Aspirin inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme responsible for producing thromboxane in platelets. Thromboxane is involved in platelet aggregation, an early step in blood coagulation. A low daily dose of aspirin (75 mg) inhibits thromboxane production, preventing platelet aggregation and blood clotting in arteries. 

Cystic fibrosis patients are usually advised to take more than the recommended daily amounts of these vitamins in order to prevent deficiency. A common problem associated with poor absorption of fat-soluble vitamins is deficiency of vitamin K. Vitamin K is required by the liver to produce many blood coagulation factors. Part of the problem for cystic fibrosis patients is their chronic antibiotic therapy, which decreases the bacterial population of the colon colonic bacteria synthesize vitamin K. Vitamin K deficiency leads to prolonged blood-clotting time. Vitamin D deficiency could cause rickets in a child or osteomalacia in adults. Vitamin A deficiency leads to night blindness, skin and other ocular defects.
