Massive bleeding on a bladder protectant: a case report of pentosan polysulfate sodium-induced coagulopathy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pentosan polysulfate sodium (Elmiron; Alza Pharmaceuticals, Mountain View, Calif) is an oral preparation of pentosan polysulfate used in the symptomatic management of interstitial cystitis. While pentosan polysulfate has a known heparin-like effect in its parenteral form, there have been no previous

Introduction of sodium pentosan polysulfate and avoidance of urethral catheterisation: improved outcomes in children with haemorrhagic cystitis post stem cell transplant/chemotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation in children. We aimed to test the hypothesis that early recognition, sodium pentosan polysulfate (SPP), and avoidance of urethral catheterisation improve

A novel role of fibroblast growth factor-2 and pentosan polysulfate in the pathogenesis of intestinal bleeding in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pentosan polysulfate (PPS) is a heparin-like polysaccharide that can affect the binding interactions of fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) with its high-affinity receptors. Patients with angiogenic tumors frequently show high levels of FGF-2 in the circulation. Since FGF-2 is a heparin-binding

Improved coagulation in bleeding disorders by Non-Anticoagulant Sulfated Polysaccharides (NASP).

Only registered users can translate articles

Additional therapeutic options are needed for patients with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia A, hemophilia B, severe von Willebrand disease, and other rare factor deficiencies. A novel approach to improve coagulation in such clotting disorders has been identified that, parodoxically, involves

Is it safe to use aluminum in the treatment of pediatric hemorrhagic cystitis? A case discussion of aluminum intoxication and review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

In pediatric oncology patients, hemorrhagic cystitis can be a life-threatening complication of bone marrow transplantation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The treatment of this condition is often challenging and includes intravesical irrigation with aluminum, embolization, endoscopic laser

Heparin and bleeding: an association with lipase release.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of four sulphated polysaccharides on bleeding time and lipase release in rabbits have been compared. Unfractionated heparin (UFH) and pentosan polysulphate both gave significant prolongation of bleeding times and high lipase release. Low molecular weight heparin had reduced effects on

Less protease-resistant PrP in a patient with sporadic CJD treated with intraventricular pentosan polysulphate.

Treatment with intraventricular pentosan polysulphate (PPS) might be beneficial in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. We report a 68-year-old woman with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease who received continuous intraventricular PPS infusion (1-120 microg/kg/day) for 17 months starting 10

Sodium pentosan polysulfate efficacy as thromboprophylaxis agent in high-risk women following gynecological surgery.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Sodium pentosan polysulfate (Na-PPS) is a plant-based agent that has similar action with low-molecular-weight heparin. It inhibits factor Xa, preventing blood clot formation. To date, its use in clinical practice as thromboprophylaxis agent is still limited. In addition, the efficacy and

Phase I trial of orally administered pentosan polysulfate in patients with advanced cancer.

Tumor angiogenesis is critically important to tumor growth and metastasis. We have shown that pentosan polysulfate (PPS) is an effective inhibitor of heparin-binding growth factors in vitro and can effectively inhibit the establishment and growth of tumors in nude mice. Following completion of our

Angiopoietin-1 prevents severe bleeding complications induced by heparin-like drugs and fibroblast growth factor-2 in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Critically ill children can develop bleeding complications when treated with heparin-like drugs. These events are usually attributed to the anticoagulant activity of these drugs. However, previous studies showed that fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), a heparin-binding growth factor released in the

Efficacy of pentosan polysulfate in the treatment of interstitial cystitis: a meta-analysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of pentosan polysulfate (Elmiron) compared to placebo in the treatment of interstitial cystitis. METHODS The data sources used were MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts databases, and the manufacturer. Bibliographies of articles
