Abstract

Association between thrombosis pathogenesis and inflammatory conditions has been reported. Also inflammatory biomarkers have been proposed for prediction of thrombosis events. Effects of different methods of heparin administration (subcutaneous vs continuous infusion) as thromboprophylaxis on the biomarkers of thrombosis have been evaluated. Serum levels of hsCRP, IL-10 and P-selectin as the biomarkers of thrombosis were measured at baseline, days 3 and 7 during the patients' hospitalization period. Changes in the serum levels of thrombosis biomarkers (hsCRP, IL-10 and P-selectin) were comparable between the subcutaneous and continuous infusion groups. Both subcutaneous injection and continuous infusion of heparin as thromboprophylaxis showed same effects on the thrombosis biomarkers.
