Lovenox does not require coagulation tests when recommended treatment doses are used. It has little effect on aPTT or PT. Only tests evaluating anti-Xa activity can be used (e.g., anti-Xa mucolytic assay or a chronometric test such as the Heptest). Periodic complete blood counts, including platelet count and stool occult blood tests, are recommended during the course of treatment with Lovenox.
