BACKGROUND: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious drug induced reaction that may be associated with life threatening complications. Platelet-activating antibodies directed against platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin complexes cause the disease. The diagnosis of HIT is challenging, as thrombocytopenia is a frequent finding in intensive care (ICU) patient population, especially during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the performance of a diagnostic algorithm for HIT in ICU patients.
METHODS: ICU patients who developed thrombocytopenia or thrombosis under heparin treatment were included in this study. The pretest probability for HIT was estimated using the 4Ts-score and patient's sera were tested using two rapid immunoassays (RA) LFI-HIT and PaGIA (from Milenia Biotec and DiaMed), and within 72 h using the IgG enzyme immunoassay (EIA) from Hyphen and the heparin induced platelet activation assay (HIPA).
RESULTS: 392 consecutive ICU patients with suspected HIT were enrolled in this study, of whom 83/392 (21.2%) patients had extracorporeal circulation. Sera from 120/392 (30.6%) and 98/392 (25.0%) patients revealed positive results in RA and IgG EIA, respectively. The HIPA test revealed heparin-dependent platelet activation in a total of 15/392 (3.8%) ICU patients (3 medical and 12 surgical patients). In addition, sera from 7 patients revealed indeterminate HIPA results, of whom 2 patients had a clinical course compatible with HIT.
CONCLUSIONS: Data from our study confirm the high frequency of IgG PF4/heparin antibodies in ICU patients under unfractionated heparin and shows that the combination of 4Ts-score and RA does not reduce the laboratory overinvestigation for HIT in these patients.
