3 Plazmafereza s svežo zmrznjeno plazmo metoda izbora za zdravljenje TTP/aHUS Brez plazmafereze s SZP je bila smrtnost bolnikov s TTP 95%, bolnikov z ahus pa 50% S plazmaferezo s SZP za zdravljenje akutne epizode se je preživetje izboljšalo na %

4 Razlikovanje med različnimi TMA je nujno TTP/aHUS ni več skupna diagnoza Sodobno zdravljenje ahus in TTP se razlikuje

14 Glavne klinične značilnosti bolnikov z ahus glede na nenormalnosti komplementa in učinkovitost plazmafereze

15 Naše izkušnje s terapevtsko plazmaferezo za zdravljenje TTP/aHUS ( )

16 37 Ž, 19 M 44 ± 21 let (4 80 let)

17 Methods Membrane plasmapheresis was initiated immediately and performed once or twice daily until the platelet count and evidence of hemolysis (red cell fragmentation, LDH, Hb) have normalized 1 to 1.5 plasma volumes were replaced with fresh frozen plasma: 3606 ± 991 ml per procedure Anticoagulation - heparin was used in 24 pts - 4% trisodium citrate was used in 32 pts Infusion of 1 M CaCl 2 into the venous line attenuated hypocalcaemia due to citrate load from fresh frozen plasma and citrate as an anticoagulant Metabolic alkalosis induced by citrat load was corrected with short heparin-free hemodialysis if needed The vascular access was hemodialysis femoral venous catheter All patients were monitored for hypocalcemia and other possible side-effects of the procedure.

18 5 M in 1Ž preboleli 1-5 relapsov 3 bolniki potrebovali splenektomijo

19 Follow up period A 46-year old female patient with relapsant TTP/aHUS Year Platelets before Platelets after Plasma volume replaced No. of procedures Days of treatment Oucome x10 9 /L 223 x10 9 /L 4500 ml ok x10 9 /L 257 x10 9 /L 3200 ml ok x10 9 /L >340 x10 9 /L 5000 ml died 15 x10 9 /L Fulminant hemolytic episode during treatment with plasma exchange therapy

20 Zdravljenje ahus 1. Plazmafereza s SZP je učinkovita na začetku zdravljenja, smrtnost se je znižala s 50% na 25% 1. Nadaljnji odziv na plazmaferezo le pri polovici bolnikov - težek potek, neučinkovite plazmafereze - alergične reakcije in neprenašanja sveže zmrznjene plazme - bakterijske okužbe, težave z žilnim pristopom za plazmaferezo Kljub plazmaferezi 33-40% jih umre ali je dializno odvisnih že pri prvi bolezni 65% umre, je na dializi ali imajo višjo stopnjo KLB po prvem letu bolezni

21 Recurrent ahus M, born He developed ahus at 7 years of age - ahus recurred at 13, 15, 18 years of age - In January 2007 he was admitted with a fourth relapse of ahus at 28 years of age which led to the loss of renal function needing RRT: Plasma exchange was performed (21 days of treatment, No of procedure 11, 1 volume replaced: ml of FFP) Despite this treatment his renal function deteriorated and he underwent hemodialysis After 2 months creatinine level decreased, indicating recovery of renal function He is stage 3 CKD (creatinine mcg/l), mild hypertension, Urine: normal, no proteinuria, S-C g/l low. 1. ahus started during childhood 2. Onset was triggered with a virus like flu or tonsillitis 3. End-stage renal disease developed after relapses 4. 9/1/2007: ADAMTS13 antigen: 538 ng/ml( ) ADAMTS13 antibodies: 10 E/mL (pozit nad 9.6) 5. Wait for another ahus relaps to initiate eculizumab immediately

22 Ekulizumab inhibira delovanje komplementa EKULIZUMAB

23 Study C bolnikov z dolgotrajnim ahus in precejšnjo prizadetostjo organov kljub kronični plazmaferezi Pred ekulizumabom so bili na plazmaferezi od 2,4 do 47 mesecev 90 % bolnikov s KLB % bolnikov brez znane mutacije

24 In 100% of Clinical Trial Patients, Soliris Reduced Complement Activity, the Cause of Symptoms and Clinical Manifestations of ahus 1,2 Change From Baseline to End of Study Period P< Reduction observed in all patients after commencement of Soliris in as early as one hour 1,3.4 Reduction sustained through the end of study (26 weeks) 1,3 *Based on a pharmacodynamic assay that quantified the complement activity in patient s serum by measuring the degree of hemolysis; the measure of hemolysis is the amount of hemoglobin release as determined via spectrophotometer. Less than 20% is considered complete blockade of hemolysis. 1. Soliris (eculizumab) Summary of Product Characteristics. Alexion Europe SAS; Soliris (eculizumab) European Public Assessment Report a 3.

31 Study C08-002

32 Plazmafereza s SZP je urgentna metoda izbora za zdravljenje TTP/aHUS 1. pričetek je akuten, klinični potek je fulminanten, bolezen je življenjsko ogrožujoča s hudo obolevnostjo in visoko umrljivostjo 1. Izvid aktivnosti ADAMTS13 dobimo v 24 urah, med vikendom ni možen 2-3 dni Zato takojšnji začetek zdravljenja s plazmaferezo pri ahus nato prehod na ekulizumab
