Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
Abstract Background and Objectives Heparin is still a commonly used anticoagulant in prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic events. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threating adverse drug reaction of heparin. The diagnosis of HIT is made based on two important criteria, firstly clinical evaluation and secondly laboratory testing. In this comprehensive review, the authors w...
متن کاملAttributable Healthcare Cost and Length of Hospital Stay Associated with Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia
Background: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious adverse drug reaction associated with an increased length of hospital stay (LOS) and utilization of healthcare services and even more so if heparin-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (HITT) occurs. Objective: To determine the attributable healthcare cost and LOS of patients experiencing HIT compared with control subjects. Methods:...

متن کاملNew treatment options for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
A rapidly acting anticoagulant that can either inhibit thrombin generation or inhibit thrombin itself is the optimum therapy for acute thrombosis associated with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). In this review, the newer treatment approaches that fulfill this requirement are discussed. These newer treatments include hirudin and argatroban, direct thrombin inhibitors, and danaparoid, whic...
