Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is characterized by q Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia q Thrombocytopenia q Microvascular thrombosis causes variable degrees of tissue ischemia and infarction q
VWF Biochemistry q q q VWF monomers synthesized in EC Monomers linked into multimers Multimers constructed in megacaryocytes & EC Stored in alpha granules & weibel-palade bodies ULVWF entangled to sub-endothelial collagen Bind to platelets GP 1 b-IX –V and activated plt GPIIb-IIIa adhesion and aggregation Moake et al 1982
VWF Biochemistry q Activation, immobilization and spreading q Recruit more VWF and more platelets q A disintegrin and metalloprotease with eight thrombospondin -1 -like domain ADAMTS q Metalloprotease cleaves ULVWF in A 2 domain q Impaired degradation of VWF by deficiency of metalloprotease Tsai 1996 q Characterization of ADAMTS and elicidation of its c. DNA and gene structure 2001
ADAMTS 13 q Encoded on chromosome 9 q 34 q Produced mainly in liver q Activator : Zn and Ca requiring protein q Inhibitors : metal chelators & EDTA q Substrate : VWF q Plasma activity 50 -178% q Half-life 2 -3 days
Patho-physiology TTP favored by conditions that combine q Increased VWF level (late pregnancy) q Decreased ADAMTS 13 activity q Two-hit model could explain substantial variation in age at which patients with inherited TTP develop symptoms.
Platelet-rich Microvascular Thrombi q Wide spread of intravascular thrombosis q Organ ischemia : Renal, Cerebral q Blood flows through turbulent area of partially occluded by platelet aggergates q Schistocytes q High LDH correlates with severity of ischemia
Clinical Presentation Pentad q Thrombocytopenia (increased marrow megakaryocytes) q Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) q Renal failure (50%) q Neurologic abnormality (25%) q Fever q Thrombocytopenia , schistocytes & elevated LDH q Nonspecific symptoms: weakness, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea q Median duration of symptoms prior to diagnosis was 6 days Oklahoma TTP-HUS Registry
Types Of TTP q Congenital TTP q Acquired idiopathic TTP q Secondary TTP
Congenital Familial TTP q q q Moschowitz ‘ Disease Rare : Autosomal recessive Homozygous mutations in both ADAMTS 13 alleles q Both parents showing 50% of activity q Infancy or childhood q Severe ischemic brain lesions by MRI q ADAMTS 13 < 5% of normal plasma q Almost always have ULVWF multimers q Response to FFP infusion is rapid : Prophylactic FFP q 2 -3 weeks avoid relapses
Conditions Associated q Bone marrow transplantation q Pregnancy & Postpartum q Drugs q Autoimmune disorders q TBI q Kidney, liver, heart, or lung transplant
Drug-associated TTP q Acute immune-mediated or dose-related toxic q Most common cause of immune-mediated TTP q Quinine ( isolated thrombocytopenia) q Ticlopidine (TTP and HUS) q Clopidogrel (TTP and HUS) q Mitomycin C- Cyclosporine q Tacrolimus (FK 506) q Discontinuation or dose adjustment is sufficient q Trial of plasma exchange : efficacy is uncertain
Acquired idiopathic Adults and older children q Sever ADAMTS 13 deficiency : acute episodes q Ig. G autoantibody produced transiently q Return to normal upon recovery q Mortality rate 13% q Worse prognosis : Prolonged courses & more frequent complications q
HUS q Children, usually >5 years old q Bloody diarrhea q E. coli O 157: H 7 q Shiga toxin q Acute renal failure q Thrombocytopenia and MAHA q Mortality is 3 -5% q Normal plasma ADAMTS 13 activity q Plasma exchange treatment is rarely considered
Laboratory Tests q q q q Anemia Thrombocytopenia Blood film : (Schistocytes > 1% of total RBCs) High LDH (hemolysis and leakage from ischemic tissue) High bilirubin DCT negative High urea and ceriatnin PT , APTT, fibrinogen & D-dimers : normal
Diagnosis No “gold standard” for diagnosis q ADAMTS 13 activity q Auto-antibodies against ADAMTS 13 q
Clinical Applications Diagnosis q Discrimination of TTP from HUS q Discrimination of congenital and acquired q Estimating risk of relapse q Monitoring therapeutic efficacy of plasma exchange or plasma infusion. q
Furlan q q q q q NP VWF as substrate Test plasma is activated by barium chloride Mix over night in presence of 1. 5 M urea Separated by SDS agarose gel electophoresis Followed by immunoblotting. Excellent resolution leader Very sensitive Reproducible Requires several days
Bohm et al Test plasma is incubated with recombinant substrate q Separated by SDS polyacrelamide gel q Quantitate residual VWF using RIPA q Short incubation q
Immunoassay Assay Residual VWF binding to collagen after its degradation q ELISA simple q Fast few hours q Less sensitive and less precise q Problems with reproducibility q
Low Levels Of ADAMTS PLiver disease q DIC q Chronic metabolic conditions & inflammatory conditions q Uremia q HIT q Pregnancy third trimesters q Newborn q Healthy controls : levels 20 -50% and none < 10% q
Management q Untreated almost always fatal (90%) q FFP Byrnes and Khurana 1977 q Cryo-supernatant contain ADAMTS Tsai 1998 q Solvent/detergent-treated plasma contain ADAMTS Tsai and Lian and Furlan 1998
Plasma pheresis q q q q Plasma exchange reduced MR from 90%- 25% Remove circulating ULVWF multimer-platelet strings Remove circulating auto-antibodies against ADAMTS 13 Infusion of FFP or cryosupernatant , SD or methylene blue/light-treated plasma Response rate 80%– 90% T 1/2 of infused ADAMTS 13 activity is 2 days Prompt and complete response : no furtherapy
Risk For Relapse q Severe ADAMTS 13 deficiency q Idiopathic TTP auto-Abs q Non following SCT q No relapse following drug toxicity q No relapse who had a prodrome of bloody diarrhea Oklahoma TTP-HUS Registry
Management Of Relapse q Most relapses occur within the first year q Suboptimal response or relapse : steroids q Sever neurologic defect : immunosuppressive treatment q Spleenectomy: eliminates autoantibodyproducing B cells
Acquired idiopathic TTP Lower titers better responses q High titer inhibitor wore prognosis q Inconsistent response to steroids and other immunosuppressive agents q Rituximab or cyclophosphamide q Removal of autoantibody-producing cells by splenectomy. q
Pregnancy And TTP During pregnancy , postpartum 70% around time of delivery q Pre-eclampsia/HELLP : 3 rd trimester or following delivery, HT , protinurea & Spontaneous postpartum recovery q Observation for several days after delivery q Acute, severe multi-organ failure : prompt plasma exchange q
TTP Following BMT q Post allogeneic : 2 -76% q Post autologous : 0 -27% q Mortality rate : 0 -93% q DD : Renal and neurotoxicities of GVHD q Cyclosporine and Tacrolimus q Clinically suspected TTP: efforts to diagnose & treat GVHD and sepsis & delay a decision for plasma exchange q ADAMTS 13 activity : normal q No response to plasma exchange
HIV q Typical TTP q Acquired autoantibody to ADAMTS 13 q Rapidly fatal course q Plasma exchange : one plasma volume once daily q Glucocorticoids auto-antibodies to ADAMTS 13

q q q q Tsai Plasma samples incubated with guanidine HCl-treated VWF X 1 hr Products separated by SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis Immunoblotting Obert et al Plasma samples incubated with recombinant VWF overnight Degraded VWF fragments detected by two-site immunoradiometric assay Performed in hospital laboratory High-throughput method Gerritsen et al Functional assay Preferential binding of HMWt forms of VWF to collagen. Plasma treated with EDTA to abolishes the VWF-cleaving activity. Dialyzed against the buffer and used as substrate.
q q q Recombinant protein as ADAMTS 13 substrate E coli culture Direct assay for measuring ADAMTS 13 product generation More accurate Protease-free VWF. Substrate tagged with two different molecules makes it easy to modify the detection of product. One potential disadvantage : GST-VWF 73 -H is not a natural substrate
Sensitivity And Specificity q Specificity: Severe deficiency (<5% ) is specific q. Sensitivity remains questionable 66%- 100% Tsai and Lian. q. Levy et al identified 12 gene mutations
