Key result
Emergency hemodialysis with intravascular catheters is linked to a ~16% incidence of HIT.
Observational (n=74)
No
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia occurs at a high rate (15.6%) in patients starting emergency hemodialysis with intravascular catheters, and recurrent catheter blockage is a strong clinical indicator of HIT.

Miyatomi et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Hemodialysis (starting dialysis) (n=74). Emergency hemodialysis using intravascular catheters vs. Non-emergency hemodialysis without intravascular catheters was evaluated on Incidence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Emergency hemodialysis using intravascular catheters was associated with a high incidence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (15.6%, 5 of 32 cases).
