Abstract Background Despite efforts to standardise practice using evidence‐based guidelines, fresh frozen plasma (FFP) remains the blood component most frequently prescribed inappropriately. This study assessed the appropriateness of FFP transfusion in two tertiary teaching hospitals and analysed the characteristics of appropriate and inappropriate ...

Caplacizumab in the Treatment of Patients with Recurrent Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) [PDF]
We report two cases of recurrent thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, both patients without significant personal pathological antecedents, in which the evolution was favorable following the association of Caplacizumab with the classic treatment with ...

ABSTRACT Background In humans, deficiency of a disintegrin‐like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motifs, number 13 (ADAMTS13), a von Willebrand factor (vWF) cleaving protease, is an underlying mechanism for thrombosis. The role of ADAMTS13 in canine thromboembolic disease is largely unknown.

Daratumumab for immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Key Points Treatment of iTTP with daratumumab leads to disappearance of ADAMTS13 inhibitor and restoration of normal ADAMTS13 activity. Targeting of plasma cells with daratumumab is a new treatment option in relapsing and refractory iTTP.

Anti‐ADAMTS13 Antibodies Trajectory is Associated With ADAMTS13 Recovery in Immune‐Mediated TTP
Anti‐ADAMTS13 IgG antibodies titer trajectory from baseline to day 7–14 post‐TPE as a reliable approach to identify iTTP patients at risk of late response to the triplet therapy regimen. ABSTRACT Current triplet regimens associating therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), immunosuppression with corticosteroids and rituximab, and caplacizumab have ...

The diagnosis and treatment of acquired hemolytic anemia can be challenging. In breast cancer patients, it may be directly associated with the underlying malignancy (as an initial presentation or during disease progression). The diagnosis of cancer‐related microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (CR‐MAHA) is often delayed, and patients have a high mortality ...

A rare case of hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in a toddler
Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (hTTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy caused by pathogenic variants in the ADAMTS13 gene resulting in highly reduced activity of von Willebrand factor-cleaving metalloprotease.

Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) is an ultra‐rare, potentially life‐threatening condition caused by a deficiency of the blood enzyme ADAMTS13. Until now, ADAMTS13 replacement has been achieved with infusions of plasma or plasma‐based therapies (PBT).
