heparin

Anticoagulant substance produced by cells of the liver, lungs, and intestines. It normally inhibits the clotting of blood by interfering with the production of thrombin, which is necessary for clot formation. Heparin obtained from animals is administered after surgery to limit the risk of thrombosis, or following pulmonary embolism to ensure that no further clots form, and during haemodialysis (using a kidney machine).
