| Popis: | To study the influence of surgical trauma on the XaI and IIaI activity after injection of a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) 24 patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy received one subcutaneous injection of the LMWH Fragmin. Each group of eight patients received either 2,500 or 5,000 XaI U 2 h before operation or 5,000 XaI U 10 h before surgery. For comparison an additional eight patients received 5,000 IU unfragmented heparin (UH) before operation. Laboratory analyses included amidolytically measured XaI- and IIaI-activities and direct measurements of heparin. Dose-dependent increase in the XaI- and IIaI-activity with maximal levels about 3-4 h after injection was seen. Patients given the LMWH 2 h before operation had lower levels of XaI-activity 2 h after injection than those receiving it 10 h before surgery, despite the same dose given. This correlated with the heparin concentrations, where the highest concentration was measured in patients given the LMWH 10 h before surgery. In conclusion, the surgical trauma of a cholecystectomy does not seem to have any major influence on the XaI- or IIaI-activity after administration of the studied LMWH. Alterations of the absorption and/or elimination rates cannot, however, be ruled out, but are related to factors other than the operative trauma per se, such as effects of premedication or circadian rhythmic variations. |
