Abstract

PURPOSE: To determine whole blood factor Xa-activated clotting time (XaACT), a test for monitoring low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs).

METHODS: Blood was obtained from six healthy volunteers. Dalteparin, a LMWH, was mixed with the blood to concentrations of 0,05 and 1.0IU·ml

RESULTS: XaACT, ACT, and APTT in dalteparin-containing blood from volunteers were correlated with dalteparin concentration (y=312.8x+86.4;r

CONCLUSION: The measurement of XaACT can be employed to monitor LMWHs in clinical settings.

Keywords: Fragmin; Hemodylasis; Low-molecular-weight heparin
