ABSTRACT

I. HEPARIN-INDUCED THROMBOCYTOPENIA IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS

Given the major role of unfractionated heparin (UFH) for anticoagulation in hemodialysis (HD), it is important to define the potential impact of immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in contributing to morbidity and mortality in patients with dialysis-dependent renal failure.
