Abstract: BACKGROUND Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is typically caused by platelet-activating immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies (Abs) against platelet factor 4 (PF4) complexed with heparin (H). Much less frequent "autoimmune" HIT is distinguished from typical HIT by platelet… read more here.
