About Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia
Product Description Although first reported in 1973, immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) remains one of the most frequent and devastating adverse drug reactions encountered by physicians. This thoroughly updated fifth edition from international experts Professors Warkentin and Greinacher is the gold standard for accurate diagnosis and management of this condition. Identifying key signs and symptoms and providing clear intervention strategies―including the use of alternative anticoagulants to manage critical circumstances―this is an essential resource for all clinicians and a "must" for hematology consultants.
