Posted by Pareesh on June 6th, 2018

Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is a natural agent widely used to prevent clot formation in vessels. Unfractionated heparin is a fast-acting blood thinner, which works with antithrombin, a natural protein in the body, to block clot formation. UFH is administered to patient intravenously into an arm vein or as a subcutaneous injection under the skin. UFH can also be administrated orally. However, oral absorption of unfractionated heparin is poor, owing to their size and anionic structure. UFH is not absorbed properly from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally.

Unfractionated heparin is majorly used in deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with increased postoperative complications. Unfractionated heparin is the preferred treatment for patients at high risk of bleeding complications, owing to its short activity and reversibility and its reversible anticoagulant effect. Additionally, UTH offers various advantages over other types of heparin, owing to its ability to rapidly enter into the blood stream and less reliant to kidney for extraction. UTH is a preferred anticoagulant option for pregnant women, as it does not cross the placenta, and thus is considered as safe for the fetus.
