Summary:her fingers. She had an edema of the body and face and finger clubbing (Figure 1a). The WBC was 14.0 × 10 9 /l, hemoglobin, 147 g/l, platelets, 139 × 10 9 /l and reticulocytes Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is one of the complications of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) which 3.8%. There were no schistocytes. Prothrombin time was 91% of control and activated prothrombin time, 38.3 s includes hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Red cell frag-(control 36.5 s). Fibrinogen was 2.74 g/l (normal 1.6-3.6) and fibrin degradation products Ͻ5 mg/l. mentation is the most consistent laboratory finding. We present a case of TMA with endothelial damage but Creatinine was 30.5 mol/l, aspartate aminotransferase, without the signs of hemolysis. The patient was not receiving cyclosporine. Partial activation of platelets was also observed. This case represents a new form of TMA in transplant recipients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
