*Tx: Discontinuation of heparin and transition to a DOAC if anticoagulation is still required (Warfarin causes transient hyper coagulable state due to '''depletion of protein of C'''). '''Avoidance of heparin for life'''
+
*For supratherapeutic INR in a patient on Warfarin, if INR <4.5, can hold Warfarin for 1-2 days then recheck and resume, if INR 4.5-10, give 1-2.5 mg PO vitamin K.

*Tumor lysis syndrome causes '''release of K, Phos, and Urea''' leading to '''uremic syndrome, stones, hypocalcemia, [[Renal|AKI]], and cardiac arrhythmias'''. Treatment is with '''IV fluids and rasburicase'''

==ITP==
 +
*H&P: Caused by autoantibodies against platelet membrane proteins.
 +
*Dx: Low platelets with otherwise normal labs. Petechiae and purpura.
 +
*Tx: Corticosteroids if Plt < 30k
 +
==TTP==
 +
*H&P:
 +
*Dx: Low platelets plus microangiopathic hemolytic anemia with low Hgb, shistocytes on smear, elevated LDH. Sometimes associated with acute renal failure (hemolytic uremic syndrome)
 +
*Tx: Treat HUS with plasma exchange
 +
==DIC==
 +
*H&P: Spontaneous bleeding due to widespread intravascular coagulation and consumption of clotting factors.
 +
*Dx: Low platelets plus elevated d-dimer, prolonged PT/PTT, low fibrinogen
 +
==HIT==
 +
*Dx: T score (timing, thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, alTernate causes)
 +
*Tx: Discontinuation of heparin and '''transition to a DOAC if anticoagulation is still required (usually is immediately)''' (Warfarin causes transient hyper coagulable state due to '''depletion of protein of C'''). '''Avoidance of heparin for life'''
