Usage: There are emerging disorders collectively termed thrombocytopenia & thrombosis syndromes which most commonly include Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). This occurs after exposure to heparin /unfractionated heparin (UFH) / low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). HIT is a paradoxical disease as the anticoagulant administered to prevent thrombosis, itself leads to increased risk of arterial/venous thrombosis. HIT is of 2 types – Type I non-immune type with a mild decrease in platelet count.
