In medicine , low-molecular-weight heparin ( LMWH ) is a class of medication used as an anticoagulant in diseases that feature thrombosis , as well as for prophylaxis in situations that lead to a high risk of thrombosis. [ 1 ]
Heparin is a naturally-occurring polysaccharide that inhibits coagulation , the process whereby thrombosis occurs (see Heparin: Mechanisms of action ). Natural heparin consists of molecular chains of varying lengths, or molecular weights . Chains of molecular weight from 5000 to over 40,000 Daltons , making up polydisperse pharmaceutical-grade heparin. [ 2 ]
