3 TMA: terminology Neurological deficits Renal failure Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Hemolytic Uremic Purpura (TTP) Syndrome (HUS) TTP/HUS Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) è No uniform definition

4 ADAMTS13-deficiency thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) Acquired (auto-anti-adamts13 antibodies) Congenital (mutations in ADAMTS13 gene) Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) Typical HUS (Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli) Atypical HUS Congenital (mutations in complement regulatory proteins, thrombomodulin) Acquired (auto-anti-complement regulatory proteins antibodies) Secondary thrombotic micro-angiopathy (TMA): associated with Solid organ transplantation Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Pregnancy Medication (clopidogrel, ticlodipin, quinine, mitomycin C, gemcitabin, calcineurin inhibitors, proliferation signaling inhibitors, ) Auto-immune disorders (antiphopsholipid syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, )

9 TTP: symptoms Pentade: Coombs negative hemolytic anemia Presence of schistocytes Elevated indirect bilirubin Elevated LDH (hemolysis + tissue damage) Trombocytopenia In acute fase very low (<20000/µL) Often bleeding tendency CNS abnormalities Most frequently: coma, convulsions and focal deficits Often in advanced and non-diagnosed cases Renal abnormalities Elevated serum creatinin, microscopic hematuria, proteinuria Fever Thrombocytopenic Purpura Thrombotic Thrombotic Recently: often cardiac and pancreatic involvement

11 TTP: treatment High mortality (>90%) without treatment Daily TPE: reduction mortality to <20% Plasma infusion: less effective but value in initial phase if TPE not immediately available Substitution fluid: FFP Plasmapheresis component: removal of auto-antibodies against ADAMTS13 Infusion of plasma: contains non-inhibited ADAMTS13 If severe ADAMTS13 deficiency: better and faster response to TPE compared to normal levels 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Rock GA, et al. N Engl J Med 1991;325:393-7

12 TTP: problems Clinical Still 10-20% mortailty: need for new treatments ADAMTS13 deficiency TTP Rare disorder (trials) Pathophysiological No good animal model Importance of vwf-platelet interaction > 20% of TTP: normal ADAMTS13

13 TTP: problems Mice: no clear model è problems ADAMTS13 KO mice: no spontaneous development of TTP!
