Heparin is primarily metabolized in the liver and to a lesser extent in the reticuloendothelial system. The metabolism involves the action of heparinase enzymes, which break down heparin into smaller fragments. These fragments are then further processed and eliminated from the body, mainly through the kidneys. The metabolic process can vary based on the type of heparin used, such as unfractionated heparin or low molecular weight heparin.
