Illustration of heparin resistance diagnosis.

Non-antithrombin mediated
• Increased heparin binding to other proteins, cells and non-endothelial surfaces.
• High platelet count ≥300,000 cells/mm3 (due to the activation of PF4, a strong inhibitor of heparin).
• Low albumin concentrations ≤35 g/dL (albumin exhibits heparin-like action).
• Preoperative relative hypovolemia (dehydration leading to increased concentration of other compatible molecules binding to heparin).
• Medications (egg, andexanet Alfa).
