Resumo

Resumo A trombocitopenia induzida por heparina é uma complicação grave da terapêutica anticoagulante com heparina e está associada à formação de anticorpos antifator IV plaquetário. Costuma surgir a partir do quinto dia do tratamento, com queda de pelo menos 50% da contagem plaquetária. Em decorrência da ativação plaquetária concomitante, pode ocorrer quadro de trombose, venosa ou arterial, com repercussões clínicas graves. Apresentamos um caso de paciente portador de síndrome do anticorpo antifosfolípide, com quadro de oclusão arterial aguda, que foi tratado cirurgicamente e recebeu heparina não fracionada no intra e pós-operatório. No quinto dia de tratamento anticoagulante, apresentou queda maior de 50% da contagem de plaquetas em relação à contagem pré-heparina. A suspeita de trombocitopenia induzida por heparina e seus aspectos diagnósticos e terapêuticos serão abordados neste desafio terapêutico.

Abstract

Abstract Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious complication of heparin anticoagulation and is associated with formation of anti-platelet factor 4. It usually occurs from the fifth day of treatment onwards, with a fall in platelet count of at least 50%. Venous or arterial thrombosis may occur as a result of concomitant platelet activation, with serious clinical repercussions. We present the case of a patient with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome who presented with acute arterial occlusion and was treated surgically and given unfractionated heparin intraoperatively and postoperatively. On the fifth day of anticoagulant treatment he exhibited a platelet count decreased by more than 50% compared to the count prior to heparin administration. The suspicion of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and its diagnostic and therapeutic features are addressed in this therapeutic challenge paper.
