Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

There were several reports are available investigating effects of the test substance in exposure related ovservations in humans, weight of evidence.

Additional information

To conclude, inhalation of ≤32,000 International Units, as a lower respiratory tract dose, of unfractionated test substance did not affect pulmonary function. A dose-dependant anticoagulant effect could be demonstrated on the circulating blood (antifactor-Xa, activated partial thromboplastin time) and the endothelial cells as release of tissue factor pathway inhibitor. However, these changes were small and of no clinical relevance. The authors therefore consider inhalation of test substance in these or smaller doses to be safe with respect to pulmonary function and systemic anticoagulation. (Bendstrup, 2000)

These studies indicate that the test substance administration can be associated with complement-mediated platelet injury. The dose-dependent nature of this process may account for the occurrence of thrombocytopenia in some of these patients. (Cines, 1980)

The findings suggest that hyperkalemia can develop with the use of low-dose test substance, within seven days of initiating test substance therapy, and that patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic renal insufficiency are especially predisposed to this complication. (Edes, 1984)

The test substance-induced hyperkalemia is a potentially life threatening problem. (Busch, 1987)

Skin reaction to test substance is a recognised complication of subcutaneous test substance. The reaction is due to the test substance component and thought to be a localised arthus reaction or test substance induced, immune mediated platelet aggregation. (Nair, 1997)
