Here are some natural anti-coagulants:
1. Protein C and protein S
Activated protein C and protein S can digest factors Va and VIIIa.
2. Antithrombin III
Antithrombin III is a circulating protease which blocks the activity of thrombin (factor II) as well as some other clotting factors. Antithrombin III is faciliated by heparin, a substance present in the plasma and on the surface of endothelial cells.
3. Tissue factor pathway inhibitors
They are secreted by endothelial cells. These inhibitors bind to tissue factor/factor VIIA complexes. They inhibit the ability to produce factor Xa and the subsequent formation of thrombin.

Does human body produce heparin and if our own body produces natural anticoagulant why do we need anticoagulant when we perform apheresis or dialysis?
I can partly answer this question: Basophils, which are granular leukocytes, are a part of our bodies natural makeup, they produce heparin (an anticoagulant), histimines (an inflammatory substance), and serotonin (a vasoconstictor).

Heparin, the natural anticoagulant contained in basophil and mast cell granules. It inhibits thrombin by enhancing the activity of antithrombin III. Heparin also inhibits the intrinsic pathway. antithrombin III and protein c inhibit the activity of other intrinsic pathway procoagulants.
