Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: incidence of congenital form of disease in north Moravia (region Moravia-Silesia).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was first described by Eli Moschcowitz in 1924. The pathophysiology of this disease is related to unusual, large multimers of von Willebrand factor in microcirculation, that are insufficiently cleaved by ADAMTS13 protease (a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1motif,13). Congenital TTP/Upshaw-Schulman syndrome is less frequent than acquired one TTP/HUS (haemolytic-ureamic syndrome). Short characteristic of patients with inherited form of TTP is reported as well as their clinical and laboratory features and management of treatment.

Report of two unrelated cases of Familial Thrombotic Thrombocytopeic Purpura
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) is a rare microangiopathic disorder characterised by the pentad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, neurologic abnormalities, fever, and renal disease. Decreased production and/or activity of ADAMTS13 is the cause of this disorder. ADAMTS13 is a metalloproteinase which is responsible of the cleavage of high weight multimers o...

Background and Aim: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare and life-threatening disease with a relatively high prevalence of 5% in pregnancy that causes thrombocytopenia. Due to the high prevalence and mortality of fetal and maternal mortality, which resolves rapidly with the onset of plasmapheresis, the diagnosis of this disease is clinically important. The aim of this study was to succ...
متن کاملThrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: Diagnosis and Treatment
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathic disease, associated with thrombocytopenia and hemolytic anemia. It is caused by an enzymatic dysfunction responsible in cleavage of blood clotting factors. In this study we have tried to review the available approaches in diagnoses of the disease as well as treatment strategies. Based on the what the current review ...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Refractory Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura with Rituximab, a Monoclonal Antibody: a Case Report
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is mostly attributed to the presence of an autoantibody against ADAMTS-13, a metalloprotease that degrades ultralarge von Willebrand protein multimers. Accumulation of vWF multimers and systemic platelet aggregation lead to microangiopathic thrombosis, hemolytic anemia, and end-organ ischemia. Most patients respond to therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), ...

BACKGROUND Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a very rare hereditary blood deficiency disorder of ADAMTS13 (von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease) and a life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. The deficiency in ADAMTS13 metalloprotease, which cleaves the von Willebrand factor, may be congenital or acquired. The c...
