Program Description: 

 

Tamam Bakchoul "Clinical Manifestations"

This presentation will highlight the pathophysiology of HIT, emphasizing characteristic clinical features. In addition, a summary of current therapeutic options for patients with HIT will be provided.

Ismail Elalamy "Laboratory Measurement"

HIT diagnosis remains a clinical challenge. There is no gold standard or certainty criteria so practitioners have to establish HIT diagnosis based on greater imputability. In fact, practitioners have to reinforce the probability of this etiology to be convinced and secure optimally the patient journey.

HIT diagnosis is prospectively built on both functional and immunological assays. The recent technical progress allowed new tests more rapid, more accurate, more simple, more accessible but their use must be well understood and well combined to improve HIT management. This presentation will review the advantages and limits of all these assays to draw the best way of HIT diagnosis in 2016: practical, useful and reliable.
