Plasma levels of endothelial-derived haemostatic factors in autoimmune thrombocytopenia and haemolytic anaemia

Journal of Internal Medicine
T K NilssonO Bäck

Abstract

The endothelial cell-synthesized haemostatic factors tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) were assayed in a cross-sectional study of patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) (n = 12) and autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) (n = 3), and compared with a simultaneously selected contrast group of other hospitalized patients with obscure blood cytopenia at the time of sampling. All three factors were grossly elevated in both the study group and the contrast group. In the autoimmune patient group, the three haemostatic variables were significantly correlated with orosomucoid levels, demonstrating the acute-phase nature of the increased levels of vWF, tPA and PAI. These findings support the view that haemostatic factors of the vessel wall are implicated in the pathophysiology of a wide spectrum of diseases.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) occurs when antibodies directed against the person's own red blood cells (RBCs) cause them to burst (lyse), leading to an insufficient number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in the circulation. Discover the latest research on AIHA here.

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.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
