Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenias are a collection of conditions that cause the platelet count to decrease.  There are many ways that platelets can become activated and depleted in the clotting process.  The most common reasons for drops in platelet counts are depletion from pre-existing conditions such as sepsis, trauma, or surgery.  Approximately 5% of patients that receive heparin will develop an immune response that activates platelets causing life-threatening clotting and occasional bleeding.  This condition is called heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
