Purpose Of Review: This review aims to examine recent advances in the understanding of injury-induced endotheliopathy and therapeutics to mitigate its development in critically injured patients.
Recent Findings: Clinical studies have clearly demonstrated that syndecan-1 ectodomains can be found in circulation after various types of trauma and injury and correlates with worse outcomes. As the mechanisms of endotheliopathy are better understood, pathologic hyperadhesive forms of von Willebrand factor, along with a relative deficiency of its cleaving enzyme, a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I motifs, member 13 (ADAMTS13), have emerged as additional biomarkers.

Objectives: Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ADAMTS13 activity assays are critical for the diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, these assays are susceptible to interference. As iodide has been suggested to interfere in laboratory testing via fluorophore quenching or promotion, we aimed to determine whether iodinated contrast (Omnipaque) interferes with the ATS-13 ADAMTS13 Activity Assay 2.

We report a case of early-onset hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in a 16-year-old girl who suffered from thrombocytopenia and was misdiagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia for years until two failed gestations finally revealed the underlying cause. The novel compound heterozygous mutation c.2865G > A:p.

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare, systemic inflammatory disorder characterised by daily fever, arthritis, a salmon-pink rash and leucocytosis. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is included in the class of thrombotic microangiopathies and manifests clinically as microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (MAHA), thrombocytopenia and ischaemic tissue injury secondary to microthrombi. TTP is caused by either an autoimmune, congenital or idiopathic deficiency of ADAMTS13 and carries a high mortality rate.

ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13), also called von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, acts as a moderator of VWF activity. ADAMTS13 cleaves VWF multimers, thereby reducing VWF activity in blood. When ADAMTS13 is absent (e.
