Abstract

Thrombotic microangiopathy can be caused by several conditions which are difficult to diagnose from the clinical presentation alone. Deficient enzyme activity of a newly-discovered enzyme, ADAMTS-13, can lead to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Lack of ADAMTS-13 activity causes increased concentrations of high molecular weight von Willebrand factor forms and increased platelet aggregation. Measurement of ADAMTS-13 activity is useful for the diagnosis of TTP and may also be relevant as a prognostic test for recurrent TTP.

Abstract (Swedish)
Der findes flere trombotiske mikroangiopatier, som kan være
svære at adskille ud fra den kliniske præsentation. Mangel på et
nyopdaget enzym, a disintegrin and metalloprotease with throm-
bospondin type 1 motifs (ADAMTS)-13, kan forårsage trombotisk
trombocytopenisk purpura (TTP). Mangel på ADAMTS-13 fører til
øgede koncentrationer af højmolekylære von Willebrand-faktor-
former i plasma og fremmer dannelse af trombose i mikrovasku-
laturen. ADAMTS-13-mangel kan være arvelig eller erhvervet. Nye
metoder til bestemmelse af ADAMTS-13-aktivitet i plasma kan
bidrage i den diagnostiske proces ved mistanke om TTP
