A clinical-laboratory algorithm incorporating optical density value to predict heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

The diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is complex and involves integrating both clinical and laboratory findings. Readily available diagnostic tests such as the heparin-dependant antibody assay (HDAA) lack desired specificity when utilised alone. A diagnostic algorithm incorporating...
