Heparin Osteoporosis
Abstract
Studies of 117 patients on long-term sodium heparin therapy disclosed cumulative evidence of a relationship between prolonged use of large amounts of heparin and osteoporosis. No symptoms of osteoporosis developed in 107 who received 10,000 units of concentrated sodium heparin once daily or less for 1 to 15 years. Of ten treated daily with larger doses (15,000 to 30,000 units) for six months or longer, spontaneous fractures of vertebrae or ribs developed in six, and biopsies disclosed soft, bony matrix. Studies of rats on sufficient heparin therapy to triple clotting for ten days indicated that collagenolytic activity of rat-bone-cell homogenate increased two to four times, and the stability of the lysosome-like bodies in bone cells which contain collagenase appears to be decreased. If these observations are true, hyperheparin states, whether spontaneous or man-induced, may take their place in the small growing category of lysosomal diseases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
