How does warfarin increase the risk of thrombosis in heparin induced thrombocytopenia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HITT: Coumadin (warfarin) will also drop funcitonal levels of anti thromboti genes such as Prot C an S. In HITT coumadin (warfarin) dose not increase the risk of thrombosis, it is just inneffective at blocking the heparin PF4 complexes that lead to thrombosis in this condition.
