High Levels IPF as Possible Predictor Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) represents a serious complication of heparin treatment. IgG antibodies binding Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) and heparin trigger the clinical manifestations of HIT. A 4T score the selection of suitable patients remains at the discretion of the clinician, who is confronted with determining the cause of thrombocytopenia. The inclusion of the evaluation of the Immature platelet fraction result seems to be a suitable complement to the stratification of patients because we do not climb elevated IPF values when consuming platelets due to their immunization. Materials and Methods: In a group of 432 thrombocytopenic samples IPF was detected and analyzed in 45 patients with suspected HIT, a 4T score was determined; IPF and HIT functional tests were examined. IPF was determined by oxazine fluorescent dyeing structures of nucleic acid-containing platelets and fluorescence detection on a Sysmex XN 1000 analyser. To determine HIT, impedance aggregometry using the Multiplate® analyser (MEA) as heparin-induced aggregation techniques. The MEA method uses sensitization of donor platelets with patient plasma in the presence of heparin at a concentration of 0.5IU/mL. Results: From the results of the test, it is evident that 10 patients from our group of 45 examined showed positivity of HIT, which is a significant number due to the proven occurrence of HIT in patients treated with LMWH and showing thrombocytopenia. If we evaluate these 10 patients in terms of IPF value, it is evident that 6 of them have an increased value of IPF >10%, which is a 33% positive predictive value and 4 have IPF >30%, when the positive predictive value is even 100%. In a separate statistical evaluation of the results, a correlation was found between IPF and the result of the MEA test for platelet activation by heparin (p=0.0233). Conclusions: Diagnosis of HIT remains a complicated clinical laboratory issue. However, new diagnostic options provide considerable potential for solving this problem. The implementation of IPF assays helps us in the diagnosis of HIT on two levels. On the one hand, it provides us with information on platelet consumption in hospitalized patients and thus draws our attention to HIT as one of the options for congestive thrombocytopenia, unless, of course, disseminated intravascular coagulation or thrombotic microangiopathy. Secondly, its implementation will increase the predictive value of the 4T score in patients at medium risk, which is, however, the vast majority indicated for HIT examination.
