Case summary reveals a diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia in a patient with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, suggesting the need for careful postoperative management.
BACKGROUND: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and JAK2 V617F-positive essential thrombocythemia (ET) are prothrombotic conditions that complicate postoperative management. CASE SUMMARY: receptor inhibition. Despite discordant laboratory results, a probable diagnosis of HIT was made. In addition to fulfilling other diagnostic criteria, genetic testing revealed a JAK2 V617F mutation, confirming the diagnosis of ET. DISCUSSION: receptor inhibition. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: receptor inhibition.
