Coexistence of Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in a Patient with Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a prothrombotic adverse drug reaction in which heparin forms complexes with platelet factor 4 forming neoantigens that are recognized by autoantibodies. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is similar to HIT in that it is mediated by autoantibodies that are also prothrombotic. We present a case of rare coexistence of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

Antithrombotic effects of hydroxychloroquine in a pregnant patient with Antiphospholipid syndrome and recurrent venous thromboembolism.
A pregnant woman with antiphospholipid syndrome presented with repeated venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy despite receiving combination therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin and aspirin. The addition of hydroxychloroquine prevented further VTE recurrence, thus demonstrating its potential antithrombotic effects.
متن کاملManagement of acquired thrombophilic disorders in 2011: focus on heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, antiphospholipid syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasms and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
Arterial and venous thrombosis are interrelated disorders at the interplay of platelets and fibrin. Arterial thrombi are platelet-rich and occur at sites vulnerable to atherosclerotic plaque rupture where blood shear rates are high; on the contrary, venous thrombi occur in association with slow blood flow and shear rates. These differences may underlie why anti-platelet agents are more effectiv...

Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune condition characterized by recurrent vascular thrombosis, pregnancy loss and thrombocytopenia associated with moderate to high levels of antiphospholipid antibodies. Most of clinical features are results of thrombotic phenomena. The pathophysiologic basis ot this syndrome is still unknown. the diagnosis of this syndrome is made by combination of clinic...
متن کاملLow-molecular-weight heparins for thromboprophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism in pregnancy: a systematic review of safety and efficacy.
To assess the safety and efficacy of low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) for thromboprophylaxis and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pregnancy, a systematic review of studies to the end of 2003 was undertaken. Data on VTE recurrence and side effects were extracted and cumulative incidences of VTE and adverse effects calculated. Of 81 reports identified, 64 reporting 2777 pregnanci...

In order to determine the efficacy and safety of ancrod, a rapid acting defibrinogenating drug, for patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, 11 consecutive patients who required anticoagulant therapy because of venous thromboembolism and who developed acute heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or had a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia were treated with ancrod. Heparin therapy was ...
