Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia resulting from preceding exposure to heparin catheter flushes.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening adverse effect of heparin. It can result from any type of heparin exposure and by any route of administration; however only a few cases are reported after exposures to small quantities of heparin from catheter flushes. The major clinical problem associated with HIT is thrombosis. Early detection and institution of alternative, non-heparin anticoagulation are important. We report a patient with HIT associated with use of therapeutic-dose unfractionated heparin in whom immune sensitization to heparin was triggered by two 500-unit exposure to UFH associated with intravascular catheter flushing for antineoplastic chemotherapy in a patient with colon adenocarcinoma.
