Brief Summary

Although Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare complication of heparin treatment, it results in a high rate of morbidity and mortality, the cumulative rate of thrombosis recurrence, amputation and death approaching 52 % at one month if no specific treatment is initiated. It is therefore vital to diagnose HIT as early and as reliably as possible to permit appropriate management of this rare condition. During the acute phase of HIT, clinicians and biologists can only suspect this complication with a greater or lesser degree of confidence. Clinical data are not sufficiently sensitive or specific to confirm or refute thr diagnosis of HIT.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the final diagnosis of HIT established by five independent experts in haemostasis and determined by thrombocytopenia and confirmation of HIT by immunological and/or functional tests

    inclusion and 40 days after the inclusion

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • pathogenic nature of anti HPF4 antibodies of IgM and IgA type

    inclusion

  • new biological test detecting HIT

    inclusion

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

community sample

You may qualify if:

  • all patients presenting, either during or immediately after treatment:
  • thrombocytopenia and/or venous or arterial thrombosis
  • for whom a request for biological assessment to check for HIT (anti-H-PF4 ELISA test) is to be addressed to the specialized haemostasis laboratory participating in the study

You may not qualify if:

  • do not possess sufficient clinical data prior to performance of the biological test
  • cannot assure follow-up of the patient until normalization of the platelet count
