Nicolas Gendron on The Emerging Role of CLIA in The Diagnosis Strategy for HIT

Nicolas Gendron, Research Fellow, Hematologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, shared a proud post on LinkedIn:

”New online publication in Blood VTH, Blood Journals Portfolio
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious complication of heparin treatments.

Its rapid and reliable diagnosis is essential to adapt management and improve the prognosis of patients.

At the HEGP, we compared the diagnostic performance for the detection of anti-PF4/H antibodies of the HemosIL AcuStar HIT-IgG test (CLIA, Werfen ) with that of our Zymutest HIA IgG reference test (ELISA, HYPHEN BioMed ), in 113 patients suspected of TIH (score 4Ts >3), taking as a reference the result of the platelet function test by radiolabeled serotonin release (RAS).

Excellent sensitivity and specificity of both tests

  • Very few discordant cases among patients with confirmed HIT
  • Overall agreement between the two techniques: 91.2%
  • CLIA has proven to be reliable, fast and efficient

These findings support the use of CLIA as a rapid and relevant diagnostic tool in the diagnosis strategy for HIT

Congratulations to Carla Rial and everyone involved in this great collaborative work!
