Is heparin induced thrombocytopenia the same as thrombocytopenia?

What Is Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia? Ordinarily, heparin prevents clotting and does not affect the platelets, components of the blood that help form blood clots. Triggered by the immune system in response to heparin, HIT causes a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).

How is heparin-induced thrombocytopenia diagnosed?

Diagnosis of HIT is based on clinical assessment and laboratory results. Primary laboratory tests for HIT include immunologic assays, such as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and functional, platelet-activation assays, such as the serotonin release assay (SRA).

What is the difference between HIT 1 and HIT 2?

Type 1 HIT is a nonimmune disorder that results from the direct effect of heparin on platelet activation. Type 2 HIT is an immune-mediated disorder that typically occurs 4-10 days after exposure to heparin and has life- and limb-threatening thrombotic complications.

When does heparin-induced thrombocytopenia occur?

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) occurs when a patient receives heparin, a blood-thinning medication, and subsequently forms antibodies against heparin and the platelet factor-4 (PF4) complex.

Treatment of HIT entails immediate withdrawal of all heparin, including heparin-containing flushes and catheters. Heparin cessation alone, however, is often insufficient to prevent thrombosis.

Can enoxaparin cause heparin-induced thrombocytopenia?

Although antithrombotic therapy with LMWH is known to be safer than therapy with UFH, enoxaparin-induced thrombocytopaenia can occur. Even though enoxaparin-induced thrombocytopaenia occurred less often than HITS in one study, the clinical manifestations of both were similar.

Who is at risk for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia?

If thrombocytopenia develops within the first 24 hours of heparin exposure, HIT is considered in patients who have had recent (100 days or less) heparin exposure, because they may have preformed heparin-PF4 antibodies.

How common is Hitt?

In 2021 a condition resembling HIT but without heparin exposure was described to explain unusual post-vaccination embolic and thrombotic events after the Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. It is a rare adverse event (1:1 million to 1:100,000) resulting from COVID-19 vaccines (particularly adenoviral vector vaccines).

The ICD code D758 is used to code Macrocytosis

Macrocytosis is the enlargement of red blood cells with near-constant hemoglobin concentration, and is defined by a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of greater than 100 femtolitres (the precise criterion varies between laboratories). The enlarged erythrocytes are called macrocytes or megalocytes (both words have roots meaning "big cell").
