Abstract: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) represents a significant high morbidity complication of heparin therapy. The clinicopathological diagnosis of HIT remains challenging for many reasons; thus, laboratory testing represents an important component of an accurate diagnosis. Although there… read more here.

Abstract: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a highly thrombogenic condition. Cancer patients are already at high risk of thrombosis. The treatment and outcomes of HIT in cancer patients are not well established. We retrospectively identified patients with… read more here.

Abstract: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, or HIT, occurs in some patients who have been taking the anticoagulant (blood thinner) heparin. Less commonly, drugs related to heparin called low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) can cause HIT. Heparin and LMWH are used… read more here.

Abstract: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious adverse drug reaction characterized by antibodies that recognize platelet factor 4/heparin complexes (PF4/H) and activate platelets to create a pro-thrombotic state. While a high percentage of heparin-treated patients produce… read more here.
