• Assessment tools (e.g., 4Ts) can assist in determining the risk for HIT and potential diagnosis to determine the management strategy. However, after adoption into clinical practice, neither tool has been prospectively validated to improve the treatment outcomes of patients who may or may not have HIT.
Laboratory Considerations in Evaluation of HIT
See Tables 18-10 and 18-11.
TABLE 18-10: Assays for Potential Presence of HIT
• Platelet activation or functional assays detect platelet activation when the patient’s serum is incubated with normal platelets and heparin.
•
Antigen or immunoassays detect presence of antiplatelet factor 4/heparin antibodies;
these antibodies may or may not be pathogenic.
Combination of a positive antigen assay OD >1 and pre-test intermediate probability score
• to high provides the similar accuracy as a SRA assay.
In the presence of a OD of 0.4–1 and a low-to-moderate pre-test probability, can consider
• a SRA assay to confirm the diagnosis.
•
For patients receiving heparin agents, routine use of HIT antibody screens in the absence
of thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, heparin-induced skin lesions, or other signs of HIT should be generally avoided. Over-testing can lead to excessive costs and exposure to more costly anticoagulants as well as bleeding risks because false positives are common with immunoassays.

Note:
•
With the exception of the SRA, all the other assays have a lower positive predictive value. Available immunoassays may be polyspecific or IgG-specific with differences in optical density
• thresholds. Because pathogenic HIT antibodies are IgG, a monoclonal IgG specific test should be more specific for HIT, but false positives remain a concern.
• Many clinicians get very confused with HIT testing concepts. In addition to assessing pre-test probability, when ordering laboratory assessments, remember the basic concepts. Platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assays are often useful as an initial screen and, in general, a negative value helps rule out a diagnosis of HIT. The serotonin release assay (SRA) has a high

positive predictive value and may be helpful in the diagnosis of HIT in situations where it is otherwise unclear (lower pre-test probability with an indeterminate PF4 antibody, etc.).
PRINCIPLES OF PHARMACOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT
Initial Management of Suspected HIT
See Table 18-12 and Figure 18-1.
TABLE 18-12: Initial Management of Suspected HIT
Intervention Comment
Remove all exposure to heparin-related agents where possible
Reverse concurrent warfarin therapy
Initiate alternative anticoagulant
Platelet transfusions Prophylactic transfusions of platelets in the absence of bleeding
ACCP: American College of Chest Physicians, HIT: heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, LMWH: low molecular weight heparin, VKA: vitamin K antagonist
Avoid heparin or LMWH; consider all heparin-related sources including flushes, coated lines, dialysis rinses; LMWH should be avoided (ACCP grade 1C).
Vitamin K should be considered to reverse the effects of a VKA in acute HIT (ACCP grade 2C).
Stopping heparin agent alone does not stop the progression of HIT and may increase risk for thrombosis from loss of anticoagulant effects; an alternative non-heparin agent needs to be started (ACCP grade 1C) (see Tables 18-13 through 18-17 for agent options). If significant bleeding concerns are present and alternative anticoagulant therapy poses a notable risk, consider frequent assessment for thrombosis (i.e., duplex ultrasonography with compression) and initiate alternative therapy as soon as possible.
should be avoided. Platelet transfusions should be given only if bleeding or during a procedure with high risk of bleeding (ACCP grade 2C).

FIGURE 18-1. Flow Diagram
Diagram describes a generalized approach to decisions incorporating the use of the 4T scoring system, functional and immunoassays, and anticoagulation therapy decisions when HIT is suspected.
General treatment of HIT depends on the phase (Tables 18-2, 18-6, and 18-12). In general, an initial non-heparin anticoagulant should be initiated (not warfarin alone); once the platelet count is recovering, other longer term agents such as warfarin can be started. In the trials assessing argatroban and lepirudin, the majority of patients were transitioned to warfarin. Transitioning to warfarin is described in Table 18-19. Despite limited published experi­ences, fondaparinux is another option commonly used—even with initial management of HIT (Table 18-18).

Evidence supporting bivalirudin
Several case series in over 800 patients with HIT initially treated with bivalirudin have demonstrated similar rates of new thrombosis, mortality, death related to thrombosis, major bleeding, and a decreased rate of HIT-related amputation as argatroban. The largest study to date included 461 patients with suspected, confirmed, or previous history of HIT. Clinical trials have been conducted on the use of bivalirudin in patients with HIT concerns undergoing cardiac bypass graft surgery.

In a retrospective analysis of 1,478 cases of HIT receiving danaparoid, a survival rate of 84% with new thrombosis during treatment of 9.7% and 16.4% having an inadequate treatment response (new/extended thrombosis, platelet count reduction, or unplanned amputation during treatment); major bleeding occurred in 8.1%.
