Anti-Thrombin IgA in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma Leading to In Vitro Interference in Multiple Coagulation Tests and Confounding Diagnosis
CONCLUSION: Antibodies to human thrombin may interfere with all coagulation assays involving thrombin, imitating a severe coagulopathy. However, in vivo they do not necessarily lead to strongly increased bleeding tendency. Complex and ambiguous coagulation abnormalities should be evaluated and treated in an interdisciplinary setting, including a highly specialized coagulation laboratory, from the beginning.PMID:38428837 | DOI:10.1055/a-2211-6841 (Source: Hamostaseologie)

Assessment of Factor VIII Activity and D-Dimer Levels in the Post-COVID Period
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Mar 1. doi: 10.1055/a-2238-4744. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChanges in the hemostatic system during COVID infection lead to hypercoagulability. Numerous studies have evaluated hemostatic abnormalities in COVID patients during acute infection, in the period of hospitalization. However, the hemostatic status following hospital discharge has not been sufficiently assessed. Considering the importance of FVIII and D-dimer levels as markers for the assessment of thrombosis, our study aimed to evaluate changes in these markers, as well as the influence of patient's age and clinical presentation of COVID i...

Clonal Hematopoiesis and Cardiovascular Risk: Atherosclerosis, Thrombosis, and beyond
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb;44(1):13-20. doi: 10.1055/a-2219-6410. Epub 2024 Feb 28.ABSTRACTAcquired mutations that lead to clonal hematopoiesis have emerged as a new and potent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and other cardiovascular conditions. Human sequencing studies and experiments in mouse models provide compelling evidence supporting that this condition, particularly when driven by specific mutated genes, contributes to the development of atherosclerosis by exacerbating inflammatory responses. The insights gained from these studies are paving the way for the development of new personalized preve...

The Concept of Thromboinflammation
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb;44(1):21-30. doi: 10.1055/a-2178-6491. Epub 2024 Feb 28.ABSTRACTInflammation and thrombosis are intricate and closely interconnected biological processes that are not yet fully understood and lack effective targeted therapeutic approaches. Thrombosis initiated by inflammatory responses, known as immunothrombosis, can confer advantages to the host by constraining the spread of pathogens within the bloodstream. Conversely, platelets and the coagulation cascade can influence inflammatory responses through interactions with immune cells, endothelium, or complement system. These interactions can lead t...

Pathophysiology of Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb;44(1):31-39. doi: 10.1055/a-2215-8936. Epub 2024 Feb 28.ABSTRACTTrauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is a complex hemostatic disturbance that can develop early after a major injury. There is no universally accepted definition of TIC. However, TIC primarily refers to the inability to achieve sufficient hemostasis in severely injured trauma patients, resulting in diffuse microvascular and life-threatening bleeding. Endogenous TIC is driven by the combination of hypovolemic shock and substantial tissue injury, resulting in endothelial damage, glycocalyx shedding, upregulated fibrinolysis, fibrinogen dep...

Epub 2024 Feb 28.ABSTRACTOne hundred years ago, in 1924, the first description of a patient with a disease, now known as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was published by Dr. Eli Moschcowitz. In honor of this report, this article, written by distinguished specialists in TTP, reviews the increase in scientific knowledge on this disease during the last 100 years. It covers the scientific progress from plasma therapy, the first beneficial treatment for TTP, to the elucidation of the pathophysiology, the discovery of ADAMTS13, the development of assays a...
