This comprehensive work delves into the multifaceted aspects of heparin, encompassing its structure, mechanisms, biosynthesis, and clinical applications. The first section explores the heparin molecule's function and structure, detailing its biosynthesis and physiological roles, as well as mechanisms related to heparin rebound and interactions with protamine. The second part focuses on various methods for determining heparin levels, including fluorogenic assays and competitive binding techniques, alongside the characterization of heparin preparations in vivo. In the clinical usage section, the text discusses low molecular weight heparin's role in preventing postoperative deep vein thrombosis, its effects on platelet reactions, and the identification of new potent heparins. It also addresses potential side effects and the involvement of heparin-like molecules in atherogenesis, alongside unresolved issues in heparin application. The final sections present experiences related to monitoring heparin therapy, correlating clinical effects with heparin assays, and evaluating plasma levels during treatment. The challenges posed by chromogenic and fluorogenic assays in conventional monitoring are also examined. This work serves as a vital resource for understanding heparin's complexities and its implications in clinical practice.
