Blood Collecting Tubes Blood anticoagulant Another Name For Heparin Sodium

Since the discovery of heparin, due to its natural anticoagulant properties, it has often been prepared into heparin sodium for clinical use. It not only takes effect quickly, but also can prevent or treat various thrombotic diseases, with significant therapeutic effects and optimal anticoagulant effects. However, there are various types of heparin sodium, and there are many nicknames that need to be distinguished, such as: anticoagulant heparin sodium, low-molecular-weight heparin sodium, dabarin sodium, Tingzha heparin sodium, etc. They have different types and different uses. Below, we will introduce them in detail.

Alternative name for heparin sodium

Heparin sodium is also known as anticoagulant heparin sodium, low molecular weight heparin sodium, dana heparin sodium, etc. The anticoagulant heparin sodium is mainly extracted from pig intestinal mucosa, which is a glycosaminoglycan substance. The low molecular weight heparin sodium contains enoxaparin sodium, which is a short chain preparation obtained after separation or degradation from ordinary heparin. The heparin analogue Danaheparin sodium is also prepared from pig mucosa, and its main components are heparin sulfate, dermatin sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate, which are relatively rare in clinical practice.

Differences between different heparin sodium

1. Molecular weight difference

The average molecular weight of heparin sodium, a blood vessel anticoagulant, is around 15000, equivalent to 45 sugar units. The molecular weight of low-molecular-weight heparin sodium is about 1/3 of that of the anticoagulant heparin sodium used for blood vessels, while the molecular weight of sulfamethoxazole sodium is the smallest, only 1728 Da. The magnitude of these molecular weights is closely related to their anticoagulant activity and mechanism of action.

2. Different effects

In vitro anticoagulant heparin sodium is generally added to test tubes to prevent blood clotting and does not come into direct contact with the human body. Low molecular weight heparin sodium, on the other hand, can be injected subcutaneously into the human body to have an anticoagulant effect. After injection, the plasma protein binding rate is low, and the anticoagulant effect is obvious. It is not appropriate to immediately draw blood for testing after injecting this anticoagulant heparin sodium drug, as blood may be affected in a short period of time.

3. Different indications

According to the anticoagulant heparin sodium mentioned above, blood samples can be used for various biochemical tests, such as blood glucose, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, liver and kidney function tests, but it is not intended to treat a certain disease. Other nicknamed heparin sodium can directly prevent and treat diseases, such as venous thrombosis or angina pectoris, and can also be used in hemodialysis to reduce the possibility of complications. So fundamentally, there is a fundamental difference between in vitro anticoagulant heparin sodium and other heparin sodium, and everyone must pay attention to distinguishing them.

As a professional manufacturer of heparin sodium, Desheng produces analytical grade products that are used as extracorporeal anticoagulants in blood collection and cannot be injected into the human body. When consulting, everyone should indicate their usage needs in advance so as to better serve you. Interested parties are welcome to click on the website to inquire about details!
