摘要:
The plasma of a 63-year-old patient with an initial acute, fatal episode of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) contained agglutinated platelets and a factor VIII-related von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen level that was elevated sevenfold above normal. Unusually large vWF multimers derived from endothelial cells were detected in her plasma at the on set of the TTP episode. This is the first patient in whom vWF abnormalities indicative of in vivo endothelial cell damage or perturbation have been found during an acute episode of TTP.
