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 ...

von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS‐13) and ADAMTS‐13 neutralizing autoantibodies in 100 patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura [PDF]
SummaryThe congenital or acquired deficiency of the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, ADAMTS‐13 has been specifically associated with a diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a microangiopathy characterized by the formation of occlusive platelet thrombi.

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.

The role of ADAMTS‐13 in the coagulopathy of sepsis [PDF]
The interaction between platelets and the vessel wall is mediated by various receptors and adhesive proteins, of which von Willebrand factor (VWF) is the most prominent. The multimeric size of VWF is an important determinant of a more intense platelet-vessel wall interaction, and is regulated by the VWF-cleaving protease ADAMTS-13.
