Overview
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is diagnosed when the platelet count falls by > 50% typically after 5-10 days of heparin therapy. It should be differentiated by other causes of thrombocytopenia like hemolytic uremic syndrome, Thrombotic thrombocytopenia and others.
Differential diagnosis
Diagnosis of Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is mainly done with the help of lab tests. A decrease in platelet count by > 50% typically after 5-10 days of heparin therapy leads to a diagnosis of HIT. Thus, it should be differentiated from other causes of thrombocytopenia like
- Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
- Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
- Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome
- Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
- Drug-Induced Thrombocytopenia
- Posttransfusion Thrombocytopenia
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
