[Hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura].
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA). Both familial and sporadic forms exist: anaemia, thrombopaenia, renal failure and neurologic disorders are common clinical features. The differential diagnosis depends on plasma levels of von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease: there is a deficiency of this protease in patients...
متن کاملThrombotic microangiopathies: thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura / hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are pathological conditions characterized by generalized microvascular occlusion by platelet thrombi, thrombocytopenia, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Two typical phenotypes of TMAs are hemolytic- uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Other disorders occasionally present with similar manifestations. Depending on whether ...

In the original description and isolation of the murine Abelson leukemia virus, we described a “massive degree of meningeal involvement” as a characteristic of the disease process.1,2 As in the Bcr/Abl murine bone marrow transduction and transplantation model, the latent period to tumor appearance was very short. We suggested that the meningeal disease could serve as a model for testing chemoth...

Large and unusually large von Willebrand factor (vWf) multimers may be responsible for systemic platelet aggregation in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). This possibility is supported by studies that show deficient vWf-cleaving metalloproteinase and increased platelet-vWf binding during TTP episodes. In acute idiopathic TTP, decreased vWf metalloproteinase is the result of autoantibodi...
متن کاملCumulative Review of Thrombotic Microangiopathy, Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, and Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Reports with Subcutaneous Interferon β-1a
INTRODUCTION Rare cases of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), manifested as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) or hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), have been reported with interferon β products. We performed a cumulative review of TMA cases recorded in a Global Safety Database for patients with multiple sclerosis who received subcutaneous interferon β-1a treatment. METHODS Search criteri...
