ABSTRACT
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS) is an acute condition with abnormalities of multiple organ systems. It is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Several chemotherapeutic agents have been implicated in causing TTP-HUS. We report a case of TTP-HUS during treatment with sunitinib in a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. A 53-year-old woman visited our hospital for fever and cough. She was diagnosed with sunitinib-induced TTP. Discontinuation of sunitinib and plasmapheresis improved her TTP. When she experienced disease progression after a prolonged period without treatment, sorafenib was tried, resulting in a partial response without recurrence of TTP-HUS.
