Antibodies to von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease in acute thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
BACKGROUND Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a potentially fatal disease characterized by widespread platelet thrombi in the microcirculation. In the normal circulation, von Willebrand factor is cleaved by a plasma protease.

Abstract Aim Hepatorenal syndrome‐induced acute kidney injury (AKI) comprises AKI and liver cirrhosis (LC) and is a risk factor for poor prognoses of patients with LC. Decreased a disintegrin‐like metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 (ADAMTS13) activity and increased von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen levels are associated with LC ...

Abstract Background Platelets are frequently transfused, but supply and potential harms highlight the importance of appropriate use. Study Design and Methods Our systematic review (SR) followed a predefined protocol. Eligible studies included SRs, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and matched cohort observational studies between 1946 and March 2025.

ADAMTS13 and von Willebrand factor in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Pathogenesis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was a mystery for over half a century until the discovery of ADAMTS13. ADAMTS13 is primarily synthesized in the liver, and its main function is to cleave von Willebrand factor (VWF) anchored on ...

How I treat refractory thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is characterized by thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) without an obvious cause, and may include fever, mild renal failure, and neurologic deficits.
