A member asked:
Would checking cbc platelet levels once a week for 3 weeks after heparin use rule out hit if normal? worried about developing hit
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to test: Heparin has a short half-life and disappears in a few hours, Therefore there is no reason to test, if you are not on heparin any more. You should tell your doctor, should you need heparin again that you took heparin before so that she/he can test you from the beginning.
