Article Synopsis
- A 43-year-old woman with a history of splenectomy was hospitalized due to bacteremia, experiencing fever and painful, cyanotic extremities.
- During her stay, she developed acute kidney injury (AKI) with significantly elevated serum creatinine levels and signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), but no hemolytic anemia was observed.
- Despite initial low ADAMTS13 activity, her renal function improved with treatment, highlighting a connection between DIC and microthrombotic complications, even without typical thrombotic conditions like TTP or pa-HUS.
