Plasmapheresis May Be an Option in Urgent Management of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in the Setting of Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage

摘要

We report a case of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) that was complicated by acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and bilateral adrenal hemorrhage. In the setting of worsening thrombocytopenia, the risk of expansion of ICH and additional thrombotic events is concerning; hence, we employed plasmapheresis to reduce thrombotic risk.
