Temporality of heparin-induced antibodies: a retrospective study in outpatients undergoing hemodialysis on unfractionated heparin

ConclusionsThe data suggest a significant temporal pattern of HIA in outpatients undergoing HD using unfractionated heparin. Positive HIA was not found to be significantly associated with thrombocytopenia or thrombosis risk in these patients. However, while not achieving statistical significance, subsequent  thrombotic events occurred most frequently in the strong positive HIA group (optical density> 1.000).  Further research into HIA and risk of thrombosis in this population is needed.
