HIT(S) has been around for quite a while problem is you need to recognise and then test for it. Seen 3 cases in last 18 months, that said we tend not to use the low molecular weight heparins to prevent DVT's and tend to use heparin infusion to prolong CRRT filter life so we have a great deal of heparin ussage. Perhaps placeses that use low molecular weight heparins or danaproid have a lower incidence. Comments???

I am currently working at a University Medical Center in Louisiana. I've seen 2 cases of HIT(heprain induced thrombocytopenia) within the last month. I was wondering if others around the country have started to see more of HIT as we learn more about it.
