Abstract

ADAMTS-13 is a von Willebrand factor (VFW)-cleaving protease. Its congenital or acquired deficiency is associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and more rarely with the hemolytic uremic syndrome. We report on a survey evaluating 11 methods for ADAMTS-13 measurement performed in different labs. Two plasmas, one normal and one from a patient with familial TTP, were mixed at the co-ordinating center to prepare 6 plasmas with 0%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 80% and 100% ADAMTS-13 levels. Each plasma was aliquoted and assembled into sets of 60 (coded from 1 to 60), each containing 10 copies of the original 6 plasmas. Plasmas were frozen and shipped in dry ice to 10 labs with a common frozen reference plasma. Laboratories were asked to measure ADAMTS-13 with their methods. Results were sent to the coordinating center for statistical analysis. Of the 10 methods performed under static conditions 9 were quantitative and one was semiquantitative. One method performed under flow conditions evaluated the extent of cleavage of endothelial cell-derived ultralarge VWF string-like structures and expressed results as deficient, normal, or borderline. Linearity (expected-vs-observed levels), assessed as the squared correlation coefficient, r...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
