Chronic active thrombotic microangiopathy in native and transplanted kidneys.
We report 2 complicated cases of thrombotic microangiopathy with chronic features and active components. The first case was a 36-yr-old woman with positive anti-DNA antibody and possible lupus cerebritis, who developed thrombotic microangiopathy secondary to a series of syndromes, including preeclampsia and anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome. Renal biopsy revealed no evidence of lupus nephriti...
متن کاملThrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura associated with ticlopidine therapy.
A patient who developed thrombotic microangiopathy while on ticlopidine therapy is reported. Thrombotic microangiopathy resolved with discontinuation of the drug and treatment with plasma exchange and has not recurred during 10 months of follow-up. The emerging data on the risk of developing thrombotic microangiopathy while on Ticlopidine and the possible mechanisms underlying this association ...
متن کاملEndothelial Pathology in Thrombotic Microangiopathies
Introduction Thrombotic microangiopathy is a term for a morphologic lesion characterized by platelet and fibrin thrombi involving the microvasculature. The morphologic lesions thus overlap between hemolytic syndrome (HUS), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), and the lesions seen in scleroderma and malignant hypertension. HUS/TTP typically involves glomeruli and smaller vessels, whereas s...
متن کاملIs thrombotic microangiopathy a paraneoplastic phenomenon? Case report and review of the literature
It is currently recognized that the pathogenesis of malignancy-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is distinct from thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. This carries important implications in its classification and its management. Here, we report a case of occult malignancy presenting initially as acute kidney injury secondary to TMA and highlight the importance of considering an underl...
متن کاملInfection frequently triggers thrombotic microangiopathy in patients with preexisting risk factors: a single-institution experience.
Thrombotic microangiopathies are rare conditions characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, microthrombi, and multiorgan insult. The disorders, which include hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, are often acute and life threatening. We report a retrospective analysis of 65 patients presenting to our institution from 1997 to 2008 with all forms of thromboti...
متن کاملThrombotic microangiopathy associated with sunitinib, a VEGF inhibitor, in a patient with factor V Leiden mutation
Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are closely related disorders characterised by non-immune microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Thrombotic microangiopathy is the underlying pathologic lesion in both syndromes. Under physiological conditions, platelets bind to endothelium via von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and are released back int...
