DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF
HEPARININDUCED THROMBOCYTOPENIA
 eodore E . Warkentin
INTRODUCTION
 e Vein Book would be incomplete without a discussion of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) for three rea­sons. First, deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is almost always initially treated with heparin, thus creating the potential for this immune-mediated adverse drug reaction. Second, venous thrombosis itself is the most common complication of HIT. with warfarin can precipitate severe venous limb ischemia (phlegmasia cerulea dolens), with potential for limb loss (venous limb gangrene).
HIT can be de ned as any clinical event (or events) best explained by platelet-activating anti-platelet factor 4 (PF4)/ heparin antibodies (“HIT antibodies”) in a patient who is receiving, or who has recently received, heparin. patients, this includes a large platelet count fall that usually exceeds 50%. stems from its strong association with thrombosis.
 e key event in HIT pathogenesis is formation of platelet-activating antibodies of immunoglobulin G (IgG) class that recognize a “self” protein, PF4, bound to hepa­rin. Multimolecular complexes of PF4, heparin, and IgG form on platelet surfaces, leading to platelet activation (via platelet Fc IgG receptors) and formation of procoagulant platelet-derived microparticles, thereby stimulating hyper­coagulability (increased thrombin generation). Heparin molecules bind to PF4 in relation to their chain length, perhaps explaining why unfractionated heparin (UFH) is more likely to cause HIT than low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or fondaparinux.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION
T H E “ 4  T ’ S ”
 rombocytopenia is common in heparin-treated patients, yet only a minority have HIT. Aclinical scoring system, the “4 T’s,” helps predict which patients have HIT, based on assessment of: T hrombocytopenia, T iming, T hrombosis, and the absence of o T her explanation(s) (see Table41.1).
1,2
Evaluation of this scoring system suggests that HIT antibod­ies are unlikely (<5%) when a low score (≤3) is obtained,
6
but likely (50–80%) with a high score (≥6).
An intermedi­ate score (4 or 5)usually indicates a clinical pro le compat­ible with HIT but also with another plausible explanation, such as sepsis.
Most patients with HIT have moderate thrombocy-
topenia, with platelet count nadirs usually between 20 to

150× 10 develop a platelet count fall to less than 20 × 10
/L (median nadir, 60× 10 9 /L); only 5 to 10%
9
1,2
/L. At least 90% of patients evince a 50% or greater platelet count fall; especially in postoperative patients (who usu­ally exhibit thrombocytosis a er postoperative day 5), even a large platelet count decline may not necessarily cause the
9
platelet count to fall below 150× 10
/L. 3
Typically, the platelet count begins to fall 5 to 10days a er starting heparin, although a more rapid platelet count fall can occur if HIT antibodies are already present
7
because of a recent exposure to heparin.
 is link between “rapid-onset HIT” and recent heparin use is explained by the unusual transience of HIT antibodies, which become unde­tectable a median of 50 to 80days (depending on the assay
7
performed) a er an episode of HIT.
Indeed, the transience of HIT antibodies, together with the inability to regenerate HIT antibodies before day 5 following reexposure, provides

AND VENOUS LIMB GANGRENE
LIMB ISCHEMIA AND
THROMBOCYTOPENIA
Venous limb ischemia (phlegmasia cerulea dolens, venous limb gangrene) can result if coumarins such as warfa­rin are used to treat DVT associated with HIT (see
2,12–15
Figure41.1).
 is results from disturbed procoagulant­anticoagulant balance: HIT creates hypercoagulability (increased thrombin generation), and coumarin impairs synthesis of the vitamin K–dependent natural anticoagu­lant, protein C. A supratherapeutic international normal­ized ratio (INR), usually >3.5, is characteristic of venous limb ischemia, and represents a surrogate marker for severe protein C depletion (re ecting parallel reduction in factor VII). Rarely, overt (decompensated) disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) can explain microvascular thrombosis and limb ischemia in the absence of coumarin
2
(see Figure 44.1).
Venous gangrene is a more common explanation for limb loss in HIT than the white clot syn­drome (discussed subsequently).
ARTERIAL THROMBOSIS
Occlusion of large or medium-sized arteries by platelet- and leukocyte-rich “white clots” is the classic explanation for
2
limb ischemia in HIT (see Figure41.1).
 e distal aorta and iliofemoral arteries are most frequently involved, leading to acute limb ischemia with absent pulses.  e thrombi can form either in situ or as a result of embolization from a more proximal location, including the le ventricle or proximal aorta. Other arterial events that are relatively common in HIT include thrombotic stroke and myocardial infarction.
Table 41.3 lists several diagnostic considerations when a patient presents with the combination of thrombocytope-
16
nia and an ischemic limb.
Absence of pedal pulses suggests occlusion of large arteries by thromboemboli. Palpable (or Doppler-identi able) pulses, especially in the setting of DVT, suggests venous limb ischemia, due to coumarin or

Sometimes, limb loss is iatrogenic (warfarin-related) and thus potentially preventable (see later). Timely thrombectomy can salvage limbs in some circumstances (see later).

https://t.me/med1917
Concurrence of limb ischemia/necrosis and thrombocytopenia suggests one of several hematologic emergencies. (A) HIT-associated arterial thrombosis. Occlusion of large lower-limb arteries by platelet-rich “white clots” is characteristic of HIT.  e
major clue is an otherwise unexplained platelet count fall that begins 5 or more d a er starting heparin. Urgent thromboembolectomy may be limb-sparing. Sensitive assays for HIT antibodies give strong positive results.
( B) Adenocarcinoma-associated DIC. Severe venous or arterial thrombosis can develop in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma who have
DIC, especially within hours a er stopping heparin. Aclinical clue is an otherwise unexplained rise in platelet count that occurred during initial heparin therapy.
(C) Warfarin-induced phlegmasia cerulea dolens/venous limb gangrene. Coumarin anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) can lead to venous ischemia
(phlegmasia cerulea dolens) or venous limb gangrene in patients with DIC caused by HIT or adenocarcinoma. Limb loss can occur even though the limb pulses are palpable.
(D) Sepsis-associated macro- or microvascular thrombosis. Acquired natural anticoagulant failure (e.g., antithrombin or protein C depletion)
can complicate DIC associated with sepsis, leading to acral limb ischemia or necrosis.
(E) Septic embolism. Rarely, infective endocarditis or aneurysmal thrombosis leads to the constellation of thrombocytopenia associated with
infection and acute limb ischemia.
(F) Antiphospholipid syndrome. Autoimmune thrombocytopenia and hypercoagulability can interact to produce acute limb ischemia and
thrombocytopenia in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome.

LABORATORY TESTING FOR HIT
ANTIBODIES
Two types of assays detect HIT antibodies.
1,20
Most widely used are the commercial enzyme-immunoassays (EIAs) that test for antibodies reactive against PF4/polyanion complexes. In contrast, platelet activation assays exploit this pathologic feature of HIT. As a general rule, the stron­ger a positive test is, the greater the likelihood the patient
21
hasHIT.
P L A T E L E T A C T I V A T I O N  A S S A Y S
 e best platelet activation assays utilize “washed” plate­lets, for example, the platelet serotonin release assay (SRA). When performed by experienced labs, this assay is sensitive for clinically important HIT antibodies, with high speci c-
20
ity (usually >95%).
However, washed platelet activation assays are technically demanding and available in only a few reference centers.
PF4/POLYANION IMMUNOASSAYS
Solid-phase EIAs detect antibodies that react with PF4 complexed with heparin or other polyanions. IgG-speci c EIAs have similar high sensitivity as polyspeci c EIAs (that detect additionally IgA and IgM), but with greater diagnos­tic speci city (since only IgG antibodies causeHIT).

In the United States, two nonheparin anticoagulants,
lepirudin (see later) and argatroban (see later), are approved
Section Aof Table41.4 lists six general principles of treat-
1,8,17
ment.
If heparin is stopped in a patient with strongly suspected (or serologically con rmed) HIT, an appropri­ate nonheparin anticoagulant should be initiated.  is is
for treatment of HIT. Fondaparinux, although not spe­ci cally approved for HIT, appears e ective for this disor-
17,23
and is increasingly utilized for this indication (see
der,
below). because 35 to 50% of patients with serologically con rmed HIT develop symptomatic thrombosis (including 5% thrombotic death rate) when heparin is stopped because of
1,5,8
thrombocytopenia alone (“isolated” HIT).
Interestingly,
antibody levels can decrease, and platelet counts can recover,
22
even if heparin is continued in some patients withHIT.
Given the high frequency of DVT, routine duplex ultra-
16,17
sonography is recommended.
Testing for HIT antibod-
ies provides important corroborative (if strongly positive) or
21
contrary (if negative or only weakly positive) information. Anegative test for HIT antibodies allows for resumption of heparin.

As anesthesia results in decreased renal perfusion, the dose of lepirudin should be reduced by approximately 30% (with APTT adjustments) during surgery and in the early postoperative period even in a patient stably anticoagulated prior to surgery.  e APTT should be monitored frequently during and following surgery.

besides reducing risk of coumarin necrosis, this reduces risk of underdosing of lepirudin and argatroban, since warfarin prolongs the APTT used to monitor these anticoagulants.
Platelet Transfusions
Prophylactic platelet transfusions are not recommended, as petechiae and other evidence of impaired hemostasis usually are not seen in HIT; in theory, transfused platelets might contribute to increased thromboticrisk.
Vena Cava Filters
In my opinion, vena cava  lters should be avoided, as their use in acute HIT o en is complicated by massive lower limb venous thrombosis. Further, the presence of a  l­ter might tempt physicians to avoid or minimize needed anticoagulation.
