Abstract:

The review presents literature data on the heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, its forms, the pathogenesis of condition and its clinical manifestations. Consideration of options for treatment of this complication and provisions recommendations of the American College of specialist doctors in diseases of the chest (ACCP), adopted at the IX Conference on antithrombotic therapy and prevention of thrombosis in 2012.
