Anticoagulant

An anticoagulant, commonly known as a blood thinner, is a chemical substance that prevents or reduces the coagulation of blood, prolonging the clotting time.

See Fondaparinux and Anticoagulant

Antithrombin

Antithrombin (AT) is a small glycoprotein that inactivates several enzymes of the coagulation system.

See Fondaparinux and Antithrombin

Deep vein thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of venous thrombosis involving the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs or pelvis.

See Fondaparinux and Deep vein thrombosis

Direct factor Xa inhibitors (xabans) are anticoagulants (blood thinning drugs), used to both treat and prevent blood clots in veins, and prevent stroke and embolism in people with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Enoxaparin sodium

Enoxaparin sodium, sold under the brand name Lovenox among others, is an anticoagulant medication (blood thinner). Fondaparinux and Enoxaparin sodium are heparins.

Factor X

Coagulation factor X, or Stuart factor, is an enzyme of the coagulation cascade, encoded in humans by F10 gene.

See Fondaparinux and Factor X

Glucuronic acid

Glucuronic acid (from Greek γλεῦκος "sweet wine, must" and οὖρον "urine") is a uronic acid that was first isolated from urine (hence the name "uronic acid").

See Fondaparinux and Glucuronic acid

Glycosaminoglycan

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides are long, linear polysaccharides consisting of repeating disaccharide units (i.e. two-sugar units).

See Fondaparinux and Glycosaminoglycan

Heparan sulfate

Heparan sulfate (HS) is a linear polysaccharide found in all animal tissues.

See Fondaparinux and Heparan sulfate

Heparin

Heparin, also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH), is a medication and naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan. Fondaparinux and heparin are heparins.

See Fondaparinux and Heparin

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is the development of thrombocytopenia (a low platelet count), due to the administration of various forms of heparin, an anticoagulant.

See Fondaparinux and Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

Iduronic acid

-Iduronic acid (IUPAC abbr.: IdoA) is the major uronic acid component of the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) dermatan sulfate, and heparin.

See Fondaparinux and Iduronic acid

Low-molecular-weight heparin

Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is a class of anticoagulant medications. Fondaparinux and Low-molecular-weight heparin are heparins.

See Fondaparinux and Low-molecular-weight heparin

Platelet factor 4

Platelet factor 4 (PF4) is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also known as chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 4 (CXCL4).

See Fondaparinux and Platelet factor 4

Pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).
