Heparin‐Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) Overview

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a serious immune-mediated adverse drug reaction. It is characterized by a paradoxical combination of thrombocytopenia and an increased risk of thrombosis following exposure to unfractionated or, less commonly, low-molecular-weight heparin. The condition is driven by the formation of IgG antibodies against complexes of platelet factor 4 (PF4) and heparin, which leads to platelet activation, endothelial injury, and excessive thrombin generation rather than bleeding. Clinically, HIT typically manifests as a platelet count reduction of more than 50% from baseline occurring 5–14 days after heparin initiation, although earlier onset can be seen in patients with recent prior exposure. Venous and arterial thromboses, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, limb ischemia, and stroke, represent the major sources of morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical probability assessment, such as the 4T score, and laboratory confirmation using immunoassays and functional platelet activation tests.
