heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
- heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
- a complication of heparin therapy characterized by intravascular clots composed of platelet aggregates. In some sensitive individuals heparin stimulates formation of antibody to the person's own platelets; the antigen-antibody reaction causes clumping of the affected cells and formation of a clot. Called also white clot syndrome.
