Acute adrenal insufficiency following enoxaparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a rare postoperative hip replacement complication. Early diagnosis and steroid treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in this unusual presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Postoperative circulatory failure after hip replacement requires monitoring for both common and rare complications.
  • Enoxaparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a known adverse effect of anticoagulant therapy.

Observation:

  • A rare case of acute adrenal insufficiency occurred following enoxaparin-induced type II thrombocytopenia in a patient undergoing hip replacement.
  • The diagnosis was delayed due to an atypical clinical presentation and underestimation of preoperative medical risk.

Findings:

  • Enoxaparin-induced type II thrombocytopenia can precipitate acute adrenal insufficiency.
  • Prompt diagnosis and initiation of steroid therapy led to a favorable clinical evolution.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering rare complications in postoperative care.
  • Emphasizes the need for thorough preoperative risk assessment.
  • Suggests chronic steroid management may be required for steroid-induced adrenal insufficiency.
