Pharmacokinetic during pregnancy Absorption Decrease gastric emptying and intestine motility this leads to increase Tmax and reduce Cmax Increase gastric pH due to decreased H excretion this would reduce weak acids SC absorption is enhanced due to enhanced tissue perfusion. Distribution Increase intravascular and extravascular volumes which lead to increased volume of distribution Decrease albumin concentration and heamodilution leads to decrease albumin bound drugs medication Competetive binding to protein by Estrogen and progesterone leads to increase free drugs concentration Metabolism CYP 450 enzymes are induced by Estrogen and progestron while others are competitively inhibited Elimination Increase renal flow and hence GFR rise by 50% and almost 80% later in pregnancy which leads to enhanced drug elimination, Feto-placenta unit Both placenta and fetal liver metabolize drugs Dawes M, Chowienczyk PJ.

15
Pharmacokinetic in pregnancy The net result of physiological changes in pregnancy lead to unpredictable drug therapeutic level. A signififcant dose alteration through out pregnancy was found, therefore frequent monitoring and dose changes is expected (Nancy L. Shapiro 2011). Heparin found to have lower peak plasma concentration compared to non-pregnant subjects, while time to peak plasma concentration is shorter in pregnant women. While aPTT is less in pregnanct ladies (Brancazio LR 1995). Dawes M, Chowienczyk PJ. Pharmacokinetics in pregnancy. Best Pract Res Clin Obstet Gynaecol. 2001 Dec;15(6):819-26.

Warfarin Maternal risk Pregnancy loss Bleeding Fetal risk Embryopathy i.e. Midfacial hypoplasia and stippled epiphyses (exposure 6 – 12 weeks) CNS damage e.g. dorsal midline dysplasia and ventral midline dysplasia (anytrimester) Minor neurodevelopmental problems (2 nd – 3 rd trimester) Fetal haemorrhagic complications, e.g. intracranial haemorrhage Marshall AL1.

Case management
23
Case vignette 1 41 year old lady, G3P1 known case of prosthetic mitral valve on warfarin 8 mg and expressed a desire to become pregnant. Warfarin versus UFH/LMWH (safety and efficacy) Labor and delivery Breast feeding
24
Case vignette 1 Maternal mortality is high (> 5%), and 24% thromboembolic events, and valve thrombosis without anticoagulation Anticoagulants carries a fetus risk of fetal abnormality, increase risk of miscarriage, hemorrhagic complications e.g. retro-placental bleeding, leading PTB and fetal death. Therefore, anticoagulation is recommended over no anticoagulation, and due to physiological changes, monitoring through out pregnancy is recommended.
25
Case vignette 1 UFH has the highest risk of thromboembolic events followd by UFH in the 1 st trimester and warfarin after when compared to warfarin through out pregnancy (33%, 9.2% versus 4%) and massive thrombosis of prosthetic valves in pregnancy and maternal risk of osteoporosis and thrombocytopenia LMWH has lower risk compared to UFH but valve thrombosis are also reported Warfarin is recommended in the second and third trimester with little teratogenic effect. Aspirin is recommended in the 2 nd and 3 rd trimester.
26
Case vignette 1 Pregnant with mechanical valve 1 st trimester warfarin dose < 5 mg Continue warfarin warfarin dose > 5 mg, or < 5 mg but the patient refuses warfarin IV UFH q12h aPTT > 2X control LMWH q12h anti-Xa 0.8 – 1.2 U/ml (4 – 6 hours), 2 nd & 3 rd trimester Warfarin + aspirin 75 mg
27
Case vignette 1 Planned delivery Switch warfarin to LMWH or UFH Switch to UFH 36 hrs prior to delivery D/C UFH 4-6 hrs prior to delivery Urgent delivery If the patient on LMWH Switch to UFH 36 hrs prior to delivery Consider protamine in emergent delivery D/C UFH 4-6 hrs prior to delivery If the patient on Warfarin Vitamin K to target INR of 2 FFP in cases of emergent delivery
28
Case vignette 1 Warfarin crosses the placenta and result in fetus and mother anticoagulation Higher risk of intracranial hemorrhage of mother is fully anticoagulated Therefore planned vaginal delivery with D/C of warfarin and starting UFH with aPTT > 2 times ULN is recommended, OR, Planned C/S with short stop of warfarin
29
Case vignette 1 Resume UFH gradually at rate 500 U/hr and increase to therapeutic level over 24 – 72 hours Warfarin can be started: Same day of uncomplicated vaginal delivery 24 – 48 hours after C section
30
Case vignette 2 36 years old female, recently diagnosed with DVT (1/12) on Warfarin 6 mg, came to ER with 5 weeks amenorrhea. A urine pregnancy test was positive at home and BHCG was 1500 IU/ml. What is next?
31
Acute VTE ACCP 2012 Adjusted dose LMWH is preferred over UFH and Warfarin Therapy to be continued for 6 weeks postpartum and minimum of 3 months Discontinue LMWH 24 hours before induction of labor or LSCS or starting of neuraxial anesthesia Switch to IV UFH for patient with high risk of recurrent DVT of PE and discontinue 4 – 6 hours prior to delivery or epidural insertion Bates SM1, Greer IA, Middeldorp S, Veenstra DL, Prabulos AM, Vandvik PO.

32
History of VTE ACCP 2012 Antepartum clinical vigilance for patient with low risk of recurrent VTE Antepartum prophylaxis with prophylactic or intermediate dose LMWH Postpartum prophylaxis with prophylactic or intermediate dose of LMWH, OR Postpartum prophylaxis with Vitamin K antagonist with targeted INR 2 - 3 Adjusted dose or 75% of therapeutic dose for patient on long term Vitamin K antagonist.

33
Case vignette 2 DrugRouteDoseTargetMonitoring EnoxaparinSubQ1 mg/Kg q12h Increased by 10-25% Anti-Xa 0.6 to 1.0 IU/mL Starting: 4 hrs after 3 rd or 4 th dose Adjustment: 4 hrs after 3 rd dose Maint.: Every 1-3 months UFHIV80 units/kg then, 18 units/kg per hour aPTT correspond to anti-Xa 0.3 – 0.7 U. Starting: every 6 hrs Maint.: 1-2 times/day SubQ17500 units q12h Increased by 10-30% aPTT correspond to anti-Xa 0.3 – 0.7 U. Starting: 6 hrs after 2 nd dose Maint.: 6 hrs after 2 nd dose. Then, 3-4 days, then every few weeks Frequent monitoring is recommended > 30/52
34
Case vignette 2 Labor and delivery Low risk D/C 24 hours prior to delivery High risk Switched to IV UFH, D/C 4 to 6 hours prior to delivery Very high risk No neuraxial anaesthesia Insert an inferior Vena cava catheter. OR proceed with full anticoagulation Unexpected delivery No neuraxial anaesthesia Proceed with full anticoagulation Preterm delivery expected switch to IV UFH at 36 weeks
35
Case vignette 2 - Post delivery Restart LMWH, IV UFH, or SC UFH: 12 hours after a cesarean delivery or 6 hours after a vaginal birth Warfarin therapy Warfarin and heparin administered for at least five days. D/C The heparin if INR within therapeutic range (usually 2 to 3) for two consecutive days
36
Breastfeeding Continue use of the following during breastfeeding UFH LMWH Warfarin Danaparoid and R-hirudin Use alternative anticoagulant during breastfeeding for the following: Fondaparinux Oral direct thrombin Oral Factor Xa inhibitors Bates SM1, Greer IA, Middeldorp S, Veenstra DL, Prabulos AM, Vandvik PO.
