Argatroban Dose in Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia

Calculate argatroban infusion rate for HIT treatment based on patient weight, hepatic function, and target aPTT (1.5–3.0× baseline). Reduce dose 75% in hepatic impairment.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate argatroban infusion rate for HIT treatment based on patient weight, hepatic function, and target aPTT (1.5–3.0× baseline). Reduce dose 75% in hepatic impairment

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Patient weight — The patient weight recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hepatic function — The hepatic function recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Target aPTT (1 — The target aptt (1 recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the argatroban hit dose result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the patient weight, hepatic function, target aPTT (1 for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate argatroban infusion rate for HIT treatment based on patient weight, hepatic function, and target aPTT (1.5–3.0× baseline). Reduce dose 75% in hepatic impairment. Use the argatroban hit dose result to inform your calculation.
