Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) | Types, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) that occurs after administration of heparin. There are two types of HIT, with type 1 being a temporary decrease in platelet count after heparin, and type 2 being the more clinically significant type. HIT type 2 is clinically important to recognize as it increases thrombotic risk (increased risk of MI and stroke). In this lesson, we also discuss other signs & symptoms of HIT, including how we diagnose it and how we treat it.
