The effects of anti von Willebrand factor antibody on idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the effect of von willebrand factor (vWF) antibody on idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura(TTP) .Methods 28 cases of idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura were selected in our hospital from January 2011 to June 2013 ,and 30 healthy persons as control group ,ADAMTS13 and vWF of two groups were detected .Results 3 cases of patients were detected with positive vWF antibody ,vWF antibody negative in the remaining patients .3 patients with positive vWF antibody ADAMTS13 antibodies were negative ,ADAMTS13 levels were lower than the normal value .The levels of ADAMTS13 in vWF antibody positive patients was significantly lower than that of vWF antibody negative patients and the control group ,(P<0 .01) .vWF antibody positive patients plasma vWF antibody A was higher than vWF antibody negative and the control group (P<0 .01) .In idiopathic TTP after PE ADAMTS13 antigen increased significantly ,vWF antibody and A levels decreased significantly (P<0 .05) .Conclusion vWF antibodies in idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic plays an important role in the pathogenesis of purpura ,vWF antibody may affect patients ADAMTS13 ,promote vWF complex formation ,effect of disease .
