Enoxaparin-induced hepatotoxicity: clinical cases and literature review
Low molecular weight heparins, in particular enoxaparin, have a wide range of applications, including prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis. The most common adverse effects of these drugs are bleeding and thrombocytopenia, but a clinician should be aware of another less common but not le...
