Description

This anti-Xa assay is used to monitor levels of factor Xa inhitibors, such as Unfractionated Heparins (UFH) and Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWH). Based on the inhibition of a known amount of factor Xa by heparin combined with antithrombin in the patient's sample, the residual factor Xa activity is inversely proportional to the heparin concentration. Unlike the aPTT, the anti-Xa assay is not influenced by additional coagulation factors of intrinsic and common pathways and inhibitors. It is not affected by concomittant VKA therapy. The injectable anticoagulant heparin is widely used in emergency situations, and the main risks are bleeding and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a common prothrombotic complication of UFH and LMWH therapies. In order to prevent HIT, platelet monitoring is also essential in patients receiving UFH and LMWH therapy. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
