Diseases that result in THROMBOSIS in MICROVASCULATURE. The two most prominent diseases are PURPURA, THROMBOTIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC; and HEMOLYTIC-UREMIC SYNDROME. Multiple etiological factors include VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL CELL damage due to SHIGA TOXIN; FACTOR H deficiency; and aberrant VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR formation.
An acquired, congenital, or familial disorder caused by PLATELET AGGREGATION with THROMBOSIS in terminal arterioles and capillaries. Clinical features include THROMBOCYTOPENIA; HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA; AZOTEMIA; FEVER; and thrombotic microangiopathy. The classical form also includes neurological symptoms and end-organ damage, such as RENAL FAILURE.
A syndrome that is associated with microvascular diseases of the KIDNEY, such as RENAL CORTICAL NECROSIS. It is characterized by hemolytic anemia (ANEMIA, HEMOLYTIC); THROMBOCYTOPENIA; and ACUTE RENAL FAILURE.
A syndrome of HEMOLYSIS, elevated liver ENZYMES, and low blood platelets count (THROMBOCYTOPENIA). HELLP syndrome is observed in pregnant women with PRE-ECLAMPSIA or ECLAMPSIA who also exhibit LIVER damage and abnormalities in BLOOD COAGULATION.
A family of membrane-anchored glycoproteins that contain a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain. They are responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of many transmembrane proteins and the release of their extracellular domain.

Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are a group of disorders characterized by the formation of blood clots in small blood vessels, causing damage to the end organs. This process leads to a constellation of clinical symptoms including thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (breakdown of red blood cells leading to anemia), and organ dysfunction such as renal failure, neurological impairment, or cardiac involvement.

TMAs can be primary or secondary. Primary TMAs are caused by genetic mutations affecting the complement system, coagulation cascade, or other regulatory proteins involved in vascular homeostasis. Examples of primary TMAs include atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), and complement-mediated TMA.

Secondary TMAs are caused by various underlying conditions or exposures, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, malignancies, drugs, pregnancy-related complications, or other systemic disorders. The pathogenesis of secondary TMAs is often multifactorial and may involve endothelial injury, complement activation, and platelet aggregation.

The diagnosis of TMAs requires a combination of clinical, laboratory, and sometimes histopathological findings. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include supportive care, plasma exchange, immunosuppressive therapy, or targeted therapies such as complement inhibitors.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare but serious blood disorder. It's characterized by the formation of small blood clots throughout the body, which can lead to serious complications such as low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), hemolytic anemia, neurological symptoms, and kidney damage.

The term "purpura" refers to the purple-colored spots on the skin that result from bleeding under the skin. In TTP, these spots are caused by the rupture of red blood cells that have been damaged by the abnormal clotting process.

TTP is often caused by a deficiency or inhibitor of ADAMTS13, a protein in the blood that helps to regulate the formation of blood clots. This deficiency or inhibitor can lead to the formation of large clots called microthrombi, which can block small blood vessels throughout the body and cause tissue damage.

TTP is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment with plasma exchange therapy, which involves removing and replacing the patient's plasma to restore normal levels of ADAMTS13 and prevent further clotting. Other treatments may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and rituximab.

Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a serious condition that affects the blood and kidneys. It is characterized by three major features: the breakdown of red blood cells (hemolysis), the abnormal clotting of small blood vessels (microthrombosis), and acute kidney failure.

The breakdown of red blood cells leads to the release of hemoglobin into the bloodstream, which can cause anemia. The microthrombi can obstruct the flow of blood in the kidneys' filtering system (glomeruli), leading to damaged kidney function and potentially acute kidney failure.

HUS is often caused by a bacterial infection, most commonly Escherichia coli (E. coli) that produces Shiga toxins. This form of HUS is known as STEC-HUS or Stx-HUS. Other causes include infections with other bacteria, viruses, medications, pregnancy complications, and certain medical conditions such as autoimmune diseases.

Symptoms of HUS may include fever, fatigue, decreased urine output, blood in the stool, swelling in the face, hands, or feet, and irritability or confusion. Treatment typically involves supportive care, including dialysis for kidney failure, transfusions to replace lost red blood cells, and managing high blood pressure. In severe cases, a kidney transplant may be necessary.

HELLP syndrome is a serious complication in pregnancy, characterized by Hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells), Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelet count. It is often considered a variant of severe preeclampsia or eclampsia, although it can also occur without these conditions.

The symptoms of HELLP syndrome include headache, nausea and vomiting, upper right abdominal pain, and visual disturbances. It can lead to serious complications for both the mother and the baby, such as liver failure, placental abruption, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and even death if not promptly diagnosed and treated.

The exact cause of HELLP syndrome is not known, but it is thought to be related to problems with the blood vessels that supply the placenta. Treatment typically involves delivering the baby as soon as possible, even if the baby is premature. Women who have had HELLP syndrome are at increased risk for complications in future pregnancies.

ADAM (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease) proteins are a family of type I transmembrane proteins that contain several distinct domains, including a prodomain, a metalloprotease domain, a disintegrin-like domain, a cysteine-rich domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. These proteins are involved in various biological processes such as cell adhesion, migration, proteolysis, and signal transduction.

ADAM proteins have been found to play important roles in many physiological and pathological conditions, including fertilization, neurodevelopment, inflammation, and cancer metastasis. For example, ADAM12 is involved in the fusion of myoblasts during muscle development, while ADAM17 (also known as TACE) plays a crucial role in the shedding of membrane-bound proteins such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha and epidermal growth factor receptor ligands.

Abnormalities in ADAM protein function have been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and arthritis. Therefore, understanding the structure and function of these proteins has important implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
