Neurological complications as the hallmark symptoms of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in sickle cell disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a type of microangiopathy, which characterized by the formation small blood clots in vessels, leading to organ damage and low platelet count. In sickle cell disease (SCD), TTP can occur due activation coagulation system endothelial cells lining vessels. The importance SCD lies its potential cause severe life-threatening complications, including stroke, renal heart failure. Early recognition treatment are crucial prevent these complications improve outcomes. this letter, we highlighted significance neurological diagnosis SCD.

NEUROPSYCHIATRIC SYMPTOMS and signs are a prominent part of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). These disorders are similar also in that they frequently share such clinical manifestations as hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, renal disease, and fever. Adding to the complexity of diagnosis is the fact that patients may occasionally have clinical and...

Thrombotic microangiopathy comprises a spectrum of clinical and lab findings including microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and thrombosis of capillary and arterioles. Platelet and hyaline thrombi with complete or partial occlusion of these vessels are integral histopathological findings. These findings are seen irrespective of cause and organ involved.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathic disease, associated with thrombocytopenia and hemolytic anemia. It is caused by an enzymatic dysfunction responsible in cleavage of blood clotting factors. In this study we have tried to review the available approaches in diagnoses of the disease as well as treatment strategies. Based on the what the current review ...

Abnormalities of plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) have been recognized to be associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) for over 20 years. Patients with chronic, relapsing TTP have VWF multimers that are larger than normal, similar in size to those secreted by cultured endothelial cells. Recent observations have documented that a deficiency of a VWF-cleaving protease (termed AD...
