Overview

Study of choice

  • Complete blood count (CBC) with platelet count
  • Review of the peripheral blood smear
  • Serum electrolytes and creatinine
  • Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
  • Serum bilirubin level
  • Coagulation testing ( PT, aPTT, fibrinogen, D-dimer)
  • Serum haptoglobin level
  • Direct antiglobulin (Coombs) test (DAT)
  • ADAMTS13 activity and inhibitor testing
  • Stool exam


PLASMIC score

Platelet count (< 30,000/microL)
Hemolysis variables (Retic count > 2.5%, undetectable haptoglobin, indirect billi <2 mg/dL( >34 mcmol/L))
Absence of active cancer
Absence of transplant history (solid, stem cell)
MCV < 90 Fl
INR < 1.5
Serum creatinine < 2 mg/dL (<177 mcmol/L)
Score:

Risk of ADAMPTS13 deficiency in adults with suspected TTP [1]:

  • Low-risk = 0 to 4 points
  • Intermediate risk = 5 points
  • High-risk = 6 to 7 points
