Incidence and Nature of Heparin-induced Skin Lesions in Medical Patients

NCT00510432 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 500

Last updated 2009-08-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

An increased number of patients with heparin-induced skin lesions is reported in the literature. Heparin-induced skin lesions may result from either occlusion of cutaneous vessels in patients suffering from autoimmune HIT or from a type IV allergic reaction (delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response). However, the incidence and nature of heparin-induced skin lesions has not been determined in a prospective investigation.

To address this open issue is the goal of this ongoing, so far monocenter, clinical investigation.
