Abstract:
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an adverse reaction after exposure to heparin. Clinical manifestations include reduction in platelet count and high risk of thrombosis. HIT often cause high disability and mortality due to the concealed feature, non-specific clinical manifestations, and the delayed diagnosis and treatment. Clinical laboratories should provide important support for early identification, diagnosis, and treatment of HIT to avoid missed diagnosis and over-diagnosis.
