THROMBOTIC MICROANGIOPATHY ASSOCIATED WITH OPANA ER INTRAVENOUS ABUSE A Case Report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thrombotic microangiopathy is characterized by endothelial changes and microvascular stenosis. Several entities such as pregnancy, infection, connective tissue diseases, and drugs are associated with secondary thrombotic microangiopathy. Recently, new reformulation of Opana ER had been associated with thrombotic microangiopathy when injected intravenously. Here, we report the case of a 37-year-old man who developed renal failure and hemolytic anemia secondary to Opana ER intravenous abuse. Renal biopsy pathology was consistent with thrombotic microangiopathy likely caused by Opana ER intravenous abuse.

متن کاملOpana-induced thrombotic microangiopathy masquerading as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Opana (oxymorphone) is a powerful semi-synthetic opioid agonist used for chronic pain management that is ingested orally. However, improper injection of Opana can lead to a rare and fatal blood disorder known as thrombotic microangiopathy. Opana-induced thrombotic microangiopathy can be easily mistaken for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), leading to the initiation of therapeutic plasm...
