Serotonin release assay (SRA) is considered as the “gold standard” for detecting pathogenic heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) antibodies. However, this method is time consuming, expensive, and uses radioelements. Heparin‐induced multiple electrode aggregometry (HIMEA), light transmission aggregometry (LTA) with platelet rich plasma (PRP) or washed platelets (WP), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release, and flow cytometry (FC) are available alternatives.
