Thrombotic thrombocytopenicpurpura during pregnancy: report of 2 cases and literature review
To explore the importance and strategies of early diagnosis and treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in pregnancy.
Methods
2
Two cases of pregnancy complicated with TTP admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to July 2020 were recruited and retrospectively summarized. The characteristics of the disease
diagnosis and treatment process and prognosis were analyzed to summarize the importance and strategies of early diagnosis and treatment. Related literatures were reviewed.
Results
2
The initial symptoms were thrombocytopenia and anemia. Case 1 developed postpartum
and the diagnosis of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia was not timely confirmed by peripheral blood smear
and this resulted in delayed diagnosis
delayed plasma exchange and death of the
patient. Case 2 developed in the middle of pregnancy. Broken red blood cells were found on peripheral blood smear in time
and TTP was thus diagnosed. Plasma exchange was performed immediately
and the patient was cured and discharged. There were totally 57 patients in literature review. The results suggested that TTP can occur in all stages of pregnancy
and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia can be the presumptive diagnosis of TTP. TTP triad (microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
thrombocytopenia
and neurological symptoms) were observed in 26 cases (45.6%)
of which 5 cases (19.2%) died; 7 cases (12.3%) were combined with pentad (triad+fever and renal dysfunction)
including 4 died (57.1%). In the 36 cases tested for the activity of von Willebrand factor lyase
ADAMTS13
28 cases (77.8%) had severely decreased activity (activity
<
10%). The mortality rate in the plasma exchange group (6.8%
3/44) was significantly lower than that in the group without plasma exchange (69.2%
9/13
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Peripheral blood smear is an important reference in the diagnosis of microangiopathic hemolysis
and the possibility of TTP should be highly vigilant for pregnant women with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia
and plasma exchange as soon as possible after suspected TTP can significantly improve the prognosis of mothers and fetus.
