ABSTRACT

Objective: To propose a modification of the chromogenic conventional method (Rorachrom Heparin Stago’s Method) to be used in patients with jaundice.
Material and method: An analytic epidemiological study was made. We compared the values of anti-Xa activity in 40 patients with jaundice and without jaundice using a modified chromogenic conventional method. The Pearson coefficient correlation was calculated.
Results: The absorbance of each reading was concurrent with the concentration of low molecular weight heparin added in each tube is not modified by the value of bilirubin with the pNA. The adaptation mentioned could be used in jaundice newborn achieving a more exact measurement of blood level of heparin.
Conclusions: The modified chromogenic conventional method is an excellent tool to have into consideration to measure anti-Xa in patients with jaundice.
