Thrombosis (HIT)
Introduction
Heparin Induced Thrombocytopaenia (HIT) is an antibody-mediated reaction that
can occur in patients receiving unfractionated heparin or rarely, low molecular weight
heparins. It typically presents 5-10 days after the start of heparin treatment but can
occur sooner if patients have had recent exposure to heparin. HIT involves the
development of antibodies that bind to heparin- platelet factor 4 (PF4) complexes.
This then causes platelet activation and also platelet binding to the endothelium in
blood vessel walls causing thrombin release and thrombosis. The platelet count falls
(often to <50 x 109L and/or a fall >50% from previous count) but there is a
paradoxical increased risk of potentially life-threatening thrombus formation. These
events can occur more rapidly if a patient is re-challenged with heparin after a
previous episode of HIT.
Any patients with a suspected diagnosis of HIT MUST be discussed with a
haematology consultant/registrar before any laboratory tests are ordered or
treatment started. Please complete the 4T score (below) before contacting the
Haematology team
Investigation and Diagnosis of HIT
HIT is predominantly a clinical diagnosis. The ‘4T score’ has been validated as a pretest probability score for the clinical likelihood of HIT. It should be calculated based
on the reduction in platelet count, timing of thrombocytopenia, presence of
thrombosis and whether there is any other cause for thrombocytopenia present.
(BCSH guideline on diagnosis and management of HIT 2nd Edition 2012).

Consider alternative diagnoses. May continue
heparin but review diagnosis frequently
The diagnosis is confirmed by a positive laboratory test result. An initial screening
test is performed and this is available 24 hours a day on both sites. This is followed
by a confirmatory ELISA which requires samples to be sent to the QMC
Haemostasis and Thrombosis reference laboratory and is usually processed within
working hours. All investigative tests should be discussed with a Haematologist
before sending samples to the laboratory. Please refer to HIT report sheet
(Appendix 1) and pre-test probability score sheet (Appendix 2).
Treatment of HIT
ALL HEPARIN MUST BE STOPPED (including flushes and heparin coated
catheters). Platelets should NOT be routinely given as this may cause
thromboembolism. In the event of life threatening bleeding, platelets are very rarely
used but this must be discussed and approved by a Haematologist
On stopping heparin the platelet count will usually recover but there is still a risk of
thromboembolism for several days and even weeks afterwards. If the platelet count
does not improve, the diagnosis should be reviewed and the patient discussed again
with a Haematologist.
Treatment for patients requiring anticoagulation involves the use of an anticoagulant
that does not induce the production of HIT antibodies.
Choice of anticoagulant
If the patient’s calculated creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault – see appendix 3) is
>30ml/min fondaparinux should be used. Fondaparinux is contraindicated in
patients with a creatinine clearance <30ml/min. In this clinical situation, argatroban
should be used.
Fondaparinux
Fondaparinux is a synthetic inhibitor of factor Xa that is unlikely to induce HIT
antibodies. It is unlicensed* for this indication but has the advantage of once daily
subcutaneous dosing rather than a continual infusion.
(* Trust’s unlicensed medicines policy should be followed)

Fondaparinux at a treatment dose is contraindicated if the creatinine clearance is
<30ml/min. Creatinine clearance can be calculated using the link:
http://nuhnet/diagnostics_clinical_support/antibiotics/Pages/Calc.aspx
Argatroban
Argatroban is a direct thrombin inhibitor that reversibly binds to thrombin and inhibits
the action of both free and clot associated thrombin. It does not interact with heparin
induced antibodies. This should be used if the patient has renal impairment
(creatinine clearance <30ml/min) or if the patient has had a previous episode of HIT
and undergoing dialysis. (Creatinine clearance can be calculated using the link:
http://nuhnet/diagnostics_clinical_support/antibiotics/Pages/Calc.aspx)
Argatroban dosing





Argatroban is available as 250mg in 2.5ml concentrate for IV infusion; this is
diluted with 250ml sodium chloride 0.9% or glucose 5% to give a final
concentration of 1mg/ml. Mix thoroughly after dilution by repeated inversion of the
solution container for one minute.
o Do not expose diluted solutions to direct sunlight. (but no need to
additionally cover)
o Do not use after 24 hours.
The initial infusion is 2microgram/kg/minute.
o There is a reduced infusion rate for patients with moderate hepatic
impairment (Child-Pugh class B), after cardiac surgery and critically ill
patients of 0.5microgram/kg/minute.
o Argatroban is contraindicated in patients with severely impaired hepatic
function, uncontrolled bleeding and hypersensitivity to argatroban or any of
the excipients (ethanol and sorbitol).
Preferably administer via a central venous access device to avoid potential
venous irritation as the preparation has a low pH. If a central venous access
device is unavailable a risk benefit analysis should be made on an individual
patient basis. If given peripherally, the insertion site should be monitored closely
for phlebitis using a recognised infusion phlebitis scoring tool.
Maximum recommended dose is 10microgram/kg/min and maximum treatment
length 14 days (there is limited clinical experience of administration for longer
periods).
Half life is 52 minutes and time to steady state 1-3 hours

Avoid concomitant use of thrombolytics or antiplatelets – if antiplatelets are
required discuss with cardiology or haematology

Subsequent treatment of acute HIT
The HIT diagnosis MUST be documented in the patient’s medical notes and put on
NOTIS as an alert The patient must be informed of the diagnosis and counselled
about the risk of recurrence if re-exposed to heparin, avoidance of heparin in the
future and alerting medical staff that they have previously had HIT.
For patients with confirmed acute HIT, once the platelet count has been within
the normal range for 2 consecutive days, oral anticoagulation with warfarin should
be commenced. This should be started with a reduced loading dose (e.g.6mg, 6mg,
3mg): See Warfarin Loading Doses in Adults Guideline available from the Trust’s
Clinical Guidelines Page on the intranet
:http://nuhnet/nuh_documents/Guidelines/Cancer%20and%20Associated%20Special
ties/Clinical%20Haematology/2379.pdf
Patients being treated with fondaparinux
HIT positive patients should continue to receive fondaparinux injection as detailed
above along with oral anticoagulation, unless the patient is bleeding. Fondaparinux
should be continued until two consecutive INR’s above 2 have been attained and
can then be stopped.
Patient being treated with argatroban
If the patient has received argatroban, once oral anticoagulation is indicated, they
should commence warfarin. This should be started with a reduced loading dose and
initially given concomitantly with argatroban. See Warfarin Loading Doses in Adults
Guideline available from the Trust’s Clinical Guidelines Page on the intranet (link).
Concomitant use of warfarin and argatroban produces a combined effect on the INR
test so when INR>4 discontinue argatroban as this correlates with an INR of 2-3 with
warfarin alone.
Patients with acute venous thrombosis
If the patient had a VTE as a result of HIT warfarin should be given for the
appropriate duration (depending on the VTE location). If the patient has HIT but no
VTE warfarin should be given for at least 1 month.
Subsequent anticoagulation in patients with a history of HIT
In patients with a previous history of HIT there exists a risk of recurrence with reexposure to heparins. There is some evidence for re-using heparin (after >100 days
post HIT) but alternative anticoagulants with little or no risk of causing HIT should
ideally be used.
Any further re-exposure to heparin should ALWAYS be discussed with a
Haematologist prior to commencing treatment. This includes low molecular
weight heparin thromboprophylaxis.
Page 6 of 16
Subsequent VTE in patients with previous HIT
If patients require anticoagulation for subsequent VTE they should receive treatment
doses of fondaparinux (or argatroban) and warfarin. Advice can be sought from the
Haematology team if required,
Thromboprophylaxis
Patients who have had a previous episode of HIT and subsequently require
thromboprophylaxis (e.g. in immobile medical and surgical patients) should receive
prophylactic doses of fondaparinux 2.5mg s/c daily. This dose should be reduced to
1.5mg s/c once daily in patients with a creatinine clearance of 20-30ml/min.
Fondaparinux at a prophylactic dose is contra-indicated in patients with a creatinine
clearance of <20ml/min.
Pregnancy
HIT in pregnancy should be discussed with Haematology.
Patients with previous HIT in pregnancy should be referred to the obstetric
haematology clinic in any subsequent pregnancies; this service is available on both
NCH and QMC sites.

Argatroban can be used for haemodialysis anticoagulation though there is limited
data for its use
Use initial bolus of 250microgram/kg followed by continuous infusion of
2microgram/kg/min. See page 4 for information on how to prepare the infusion and
the table below for dosing.
Stop infusion 1 hour before the end of dialysis
Target Activated Clotting Time (ACT) range is 170-230 seconds using the Haemotec
device. In patients already on argatroban no bolus dose is required (i.e. continue the
infusion at the existing rate).
Argatroban is not extensively cleared during haemodialysis and continuous
venovenous haemofiltration.
