A case of lung cancer and hypercoagulability, complicated by suspected heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening disorder that follows exposure to unfractionated heparin or (less commonly) low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). Patients classically present with a low platelet... »
