Historically it has been classified as HIT I, HIT II and HITT. HIT I is a transient mild reduction in the platelet count (usually by less than 100X10/L) in the first 1-2 days after heparin exposure. This form of HIT usually resolve...
متن کاملA flow cytometric assay of platelet activation marker P-selectin (CD62P) distinguishes heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) from HIT with thrombosis (HITT).
Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a well-known complication of heparin administration but usually resolves upon discontinuation without sequelae. However, a small proportion of HIT patients develop thrombosis associated with HIT, designated as HITT, which is often life-threatening and may lead to gangrene and amputations. Existing laboratory methods of confirming HIT/HITT do not disting...
متن کاملHigh dose thrombin time versus the activated clotting time during cardiopulmonary bypass.
In this study we compared the High Dose Thrombin Time (HiTT) with the Activated Clotting Time (ACT) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in non-aprotinin treated patients. On the advice of the HiTT test manufacturer each institution should perform comparative ACT/HiTT assays in the cardiac surgery population. In previous tests our target ACT value of 480 seconds corresponds with a mean HiTT valu...

متن کاملFree flap loss caused by heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT): a case report and literature review
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT) represents a dramatic condition that is difficult to diagnose because of nuanced clinical presentation. Therefore, in every case of microvascular thrombosis during heparin-therapy prompt suspicion about HITT is necessary to avoid flap necrosis. We present a case of HITT which, as the 8 other articles reviewed, clearly shows that HITT is dif...
