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.
heparin. you're welcome guys :)
20000 unit of heparin = 200mg heparin 1mg heparin = 100 unit heparin
Heparin sodium and heparin calcium are both types of heparin, but they differ in terms of the counter ions they are bound to. Heparin sodium has a sodium ion as a counter ion, while heparin calcium has a calcium ion. This difference can affect the dosage and administration of the medication.

Heparin is a type of blood thinner. An IV Heparin lock is when heparin is put into an IV, Port, or Central Line to prevent blood from clotting in the line between uses.
Yes heparin is a carbohydrate.It is a polysachcharide.
the half life of heparin is 2 hours and that of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is 4 hours
metabolized in the liver
Heparin is the body's natural anticoagulant.
Mast cells secrete histamine and heparin.
Anticoagulant
Actually, you have it reversed: Heparin in the generic name for CALCIPARINE.
