Therapeutic application of recombinant human ADAMTS-13 improves shock reversal and coagulation status in a trauma hemorrhage and transfusion rat model [PDF]
Introduction In hemorrhaging trauma patients, the endothelium is activated, resulting in excessive endothelial synthesis of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), which may enhance micro-thrombi formation, resulting in obstruction of the microcirculation and ...

Determination of vWF, ADAMTS-13 and Thrombospondin-1 in Venous Thromboembolism and Relating Them to the Presence of Factor V Leiden Mutation [PDF]
Thrombophilia in venous thromboembolism (VTE) is multifactorial. Von Willebrand factor (vWF) plays a major role in primary hemostasis. While elevated vWF levels are well documented in VTE, findings related to its cleaving protease (ADAMTS-13) are ...

Prophylactic use of recombinant ADAMTS-13 during pregnancy for congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura [PDF]
Background: Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) related to ADAMTS-13 deficiency is associated with a maternal risk of death of 10% and a risk of fetal loss greater than 50% without treatment.

Assessment of ADAMTS-13 Level in Hospitalized Children with Serious Bacterial Infections as a Possible Prognostic Marker [PDF]
Background and objectives: In children, acute infection is the most common cause of visits in the primary care or emergency department. In 2002, criteria for diagnostics of pediatric sepsis were published, and then revised in 2016 as “life ...

Clinical significance of ADAMTS-13/vWF axis in pregnant women at different trimesters of gestation
Introduction. The pandemic of a novel coronavirus infection has demonstrated the importance of assessing the ADAMTS-13/vWF axis in patients with COVID-19, because a decline in this ratio mirrors disease severity.

Von Willebrand factor is a major determinant of ADAMTS-13 decrease during mouse sepsis induced by cecum ligation and puncture [PDF]
Summary. Background: During sepsis, von Willebrand factor (VWF) is abundantly secreted; the main mechanism regulating its size involves specific proteolysis by the metalloprotease ADAMTS-13.
