Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) can cause severe life-threatening events such as bilateral adrenal hemorrhage (BAH). A 48-year-old female developed a pulmonary embolus (PE) following partial nephrectomy. The anticoagulation treatment for her PE was complicated by HIT and subsequent BAH. To the author's knowledge, this is the first reported case of HIT-associated BAH following renal surgery.
肝素诱导的血小板减少症(HIT)可导致严重的危及生命的事件,如双侧肾上腺出血(BAH)。一名48岁女性在部分肾切除术后发生肺栓塞(PE)。她因PE接受的抗凝治疗因HIT及随后的BAH而变得复杂。据作者所知,这是首例肾手术后发生的与HIT相关的BAH病例。
