Anticoagulation Clinics of North America
(ACNA) provide anticoagulation therapy (blood-thinning medication)
management for patients who are receiving medications used to prevent
harmful and unwanted blood clots (thrombosis) from forming, such as warfarin (Coumadin®).
Our clinics are located in San Antonio, Texas and New Braunfels, Texas.
Patients remain under the care of their primary physician while
receiving their anticoagulation therapy management by one of our
specialized clinicians. Written dosing instructions are provided to each
patient so that the patient stays within the desired therapeutic range,
and timely reports are provided to the patient's own physician. Studies
have shown that when patients stay within the desired therapeutic range,
they are less likely to suffer serious complications of their disease.
Our main clinic can be reached at (210)-595-5300.
ACNA
PROCEDURE The most appropriate anticoagulation
dosing therapy is determined after our clinicians determine the patients
risk of excessive bleeding versus
developing blood clots. (read more)
