An order is written for 50 units per kilogram of heparin for a patient that weights 50 kilograms heparin is available as 10000 units what is the appropriate dosage?
To determine the appropriate dosage of heparin for a patient weighing 50 kilograms at a dosage of 50 units per kilogram, you would calculate the total units needed: 50 kg × 50 units/kg = 2500 units. Since heparin is available in 10,000 unit vials, you would need to administer 2500 units, which is 1/4 of the vial. Therefore, the appropriate dosage is 2500 units of heparin.
What are differences between heparin sodium heparin calcium?

What is heparin metabolized in?
Heparin is primarily metabolized in the liver and to a lesser extent in the reticuloendothelial system. The metabolism involves the action of heparinase enzymes, which break down heparin into smaller fragments. These fragments are then further processed and eliminated from the body, mainly through the kidneys. The metabolic process can vary based on the type of heparin used, such as unfractionated heparin or low molecular weight heparin.
