DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF
HEPARININDUCED 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. Aclinical 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 Table41.1).
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

/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

platelet count to fall below 150× 10

Typically, the platelet count begins to fall 5 to 10days

count fall can occur if HIT antibodies are already present

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
Figure41.1).
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 Figure41.1).
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).

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. Aclinical 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
hasHIT.
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 causeHIT).
ICEBERGMODEL
Figure 41.2 shows the interrelationships among di erent
HIT antibody assays, thrombocytopenia (i.e., HIT), and
the subset with HIT-associated thrombosis (HIT-T).
4,20
Five features are illustrated: (1)washed platelet activation
assays (e.g., SRA) and EIAs have similar high sensitivity
for clinical HIT; (2)the SRA has greater diagnostic speci-
c i t y for clinical HIT than the EIAs; (3)the IgG-speci c
EIA has greater diagnostic speci city than the polyspeci c EIA-IgG/A/M; (4)only a subset of heparin-treated
patients who form antibodies develop clinical HIT; and
(5)increased risk of thrombosis is not observed in patients
who develop antibodies in the absence of a signi cant platelet countfall.

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 thromboticrisk.
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

Lepirudin is a recombinant hirudin that forms irreversible

1:1 complexes with thrombin.
(Hirudin is the thrombin
inhibitor produced by the medicinal leech.) is 65-amino
acid polypeptide (6,980 Da) exhibits exceptionally high
a nity for thrombin (Ki=0.0001nmol/L) resulting from
bivalent binding, as it recognizes both the brin(ogen)
binding site and a region near the active (catalytic) site
of thrombin. Its irreversible binding to thrombin could
contribute to its e cacy. e half-life of lepirudin (about
80min) increases greatly in renal insu ciency. As no antidote exists, major dose reduction is required for renally
compromised patients.
Lepirudin is approved by the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIT complicated by thrombosis. e approved dose (normal kidneys)
is 0.4 mg/kg by IV bolus followed by an initial infusion
rate at 0.15 mg/kg/h, adjusted for target APTT 1.5 to 2.5
times baseline. However, this protocol frequently results

Argatroban (Argatroban [US], Novastan [non-US]) is
a synthetic, small-molecule DTI derived from arginine
(527 Da). It reversibly binds to the active site pocket of
thrombin alone and thus is a univalent DTI. e Ki of
argatroban for human thrombin is 40 nmol/L, indicat-

Its half-life
is 40 to 50 min, and it undergoes hepatobiliary excretion.
Argatroban is FDA-approved for the prophylaxis or treatment of thrombosis in patients withHIT.
Argatroban is not immunogenic, and anaphylaxis has
not been reported. e usual dose is 2g/kg/min adjusted
by APTT (usual target, 1.5–3 times baseline APTT), but

Compared with historical controls, argatroban treatment of clinically suspected HIT complicated by thrombosis was associated with reduced thrombotic events,
from approximately 35% to 16% (RRR, 0.55). e lower
RRR compared with lepirudin could re ect the shorter
mean treatment duration of argatroban therapy in its
