“…HIT is a rare complication of heparin treatment that develops due to the production of autoantibodies (immunoglobulin G) against heparin exposure, more specifically, against PF4/heparin complexes. This leads to platelet activation and initiates the coagulation cascade that results in systemic clot formation and platelet depletion, which can further complicate the COVID-19 condition [ 10 ]. The factors associated with an increased risk are extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, surgery, hemodialysis, UFH, or low molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) [ 14 ].…”
