Complement activation in thrombotic microangiopathy.
The endothelium lining the vascular lumen is continuously exposed to complement from the circulation. When erroneously activated on host cells, complement may generate a deleterious effect on the vascular wall leading to endothelial injury, exposure of the subendothelial matrix and platelet activation. In this review the contribution of complement activation to formation and maintenance of the ...
متن کاملComplement, thrombotic microangiopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulation
In the blurring boundaries between clinical practice and scientific observations, it is increasingly attractive to propose shared disease mechanisms that could explain clinical experience. With the advent of available therapeutic options for complement inhibition, there is a push for more widespread application in patients, despite a lack of clinically relevant research. Patients with dissemina...
متن کاملTherapeutic Complement Targeting in ANCA-Associated Vasculitides and Thrombotic Microangiopathy
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAVs) are a group of systemic autoimmune disorders characterized by necrotizing inflammation of medium-tosmall vessels, a relative paucity of immune deposits, and an association with detectable circulating ANCAs. AAVs include granulomatosis with polyangiitis (renamed from Wegener’s granulomatosis), microscopic polyangiitis, an...
متن کاملComplement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy secondary to sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation successfully treated with eculizumab
Secondary thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are induced by several underlying conditions; most are resolved by treating background disease. Eculizumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks the final stage of the complement system and effectively treats atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). In this report, we present a patient with TMA secondary to sepsis- induced coagulopathy, who w...
متن کاملAcute renal failure secondary to malignant hypertension induced thrombotic microangiopathy.
T thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) represents a discreet group of disorders with common pathological features including fibrinoid necrosis, endothelial cell injury, and obstruction of vessels.1 The clinical presentation of TMA includes microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and functional impairment of various organ systems. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocy...
