Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

Platelet recovery in patients with confirmed HIT typically occurs within 1 week (median 4 days) of appropriate treatment, although it can take significantly longer in aggressive cases.[40]Arepally GM. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Blood. 2017 May 25;129(21):2864-72. https://ashpublications.org/blood/article/129/21/2864/36268/Heparin-induced-thrombocytopenia http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28416511?tool=bestpractice.com HIT antibodies are transient and usually spontaneously resolve within 100 days. In patients who do not experience initial complications, there are no known long-term implications of HIT other than the risk of recurrence on prolonged re-exposure to heparins.
