Common Laboratory

Platelet clumping is a common laboratory phenomenon that complicates or precludes reporting of platelet count. It is often, but not always, a phenomenon commonly caused by the anticoagulant EDTA. Herein, we discuss a case of a 14-year-old girl who was found to have platelet clumping and discuss the work-up she underwent to investigate her pseudothrombocytopenia.

Diagnostic Coronary Angiography

Acute severe thrombocytopenia following contrast administration is incredibly rare, but it can lead to significant morbidity. This case details the experience of a 63-year-old male whose diagnostic coronary angiography quickly led to severe thrombocytopenia with cardiovascular compromise in the absence of any immediate symptoms of anaphylaxis. His platelet count normalized within a week, increasing from 2 × 103/μL to 328 × 103/μL. A thorough review of the literature along with the present case is being reported.

Summary: A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with pre-fibrotic myelofibrosis after acute left lower-limb ischemia requiring amputation and portal vein thrombosis. After surgery he developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with venous thromboembolism, successfully treated with argatroban followed by dabigatran. Our systematic review of the literature supports the use of dabigatran for suspected HIT.
