- Abstract
We present the case of a patient diagnosed with likely immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT II) based on clinical criteria and a positive ELISA test, in which emergency treatment was determining given the seriousness of the process. The discontinuation of heparin and administration of argatroban resolved inefficiency of dialysis resulting from repeated coagulation of the circuit and catheter, allowing peritoneal dialysis without further setbacks. We consider decision-making a priority before certifying diagnostic confidence.
