Rare Presentation of Refractory Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: Jejunal Stricture
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare thrombotic disease characterized by episodes of thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia due to disseminated microvascular thrombosis.

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 ...

Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure. [PDF]
Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: Toward targeted therapy and precision medicine
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by severe congenital or immune‐mediated deficiency in ADAMTS13, the enzyme that cleaves von Willebrand factor multimers.

Endothelial glycocalyx may be the missing link between angiogenic factors, inflammatory regulation, and endothelial maternal dysfunction in early‐onset preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. ABSTRACT The pathophysiology of preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome relies on systemic vascular endothelial dysfunction, resulting from angiogenic imbalance due to abnormal ...

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.

Abstract By proteolyzing prothrombotic von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers, ADAMTS13 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with ThromboSpondin type‐1 repeats, member 13) ensures balanced hemostasis and prevents microvascular thrombosis. ADAMTS13's conformational regulation is not only crucial for its enzymatic function, but also for the ...
