Presentation
A diagnostic and therapeutic approach is presented, based on international guidelines, disease registries and published trials. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is unrelated to time from transplantation and often presents with concomitant infection, which tends to confound diagnosis. The cases discussed here have a common causative agent and all present with concomitant infection. [archbronconeumol.org]
Case Description: We are presenting a case of 26 year old pregnant female presented with elevated BP. [mds.marshall.edu]
The 2 youngest patients presented with concomitant pulmonary and renal disease; in the older patients, PAH was preceded by rTMA from age 2.5 to 7 years. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Epistaxis
Creatinine levels deteriorated, falling to 3.92 mg/dl (0.73 mg/dl on admission), hematocrit fell to 22.6% and thrombocytopenia to 18 000/μl, causing repeated epistaxis. [archbronconeumol.org]
Workup
The differential diagnoses are generally broad, while the workup is frequently complex and can be confusing. [mayoclinicproceedings.org]
The lack of early response to plasma exchange prompted extensive laboratory workup. Ultimately, the patient completely recovered with negative fluid balance and control of severe hypertension. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]
Clinical Workup The clinical measures examined were blood chemistry, cardiovascular assessment, clinical tests and physiological recordings. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
The review suggested that there may be an association between interferon beta treatment and thrombotic microangiopathy and between interferon beta treatment and nephrotic syndrome. [gov.uk]
A number of medicines, such as calcium dobesilate, are being marketed for the specific treatment of microangiopathy. [en.wikipedia.org]
Interferon treatment was discontinued and treatment with renin angiotensin system inhibitors was initiated. [revistanefrologia.com]

Treatment with ixazomib and lenalidomide was discontinued. Despite these measures, the thrombocytopenia persisted and the renal failure worsened, the patient requiring dialysis after 72 hours. [journals.lww.com]

In addition to glomerulonephritis, the status of renal vascular lesions is also important in lupus nephritis because their presence can adversely affect the prognosis of the renal disease [ 2, 3 ]. [arthritis-research.biomedcentral.com]
HUS has a good prognosis. During the active phase of the disease kidney failure can often be severe enough to require manual blood cleaning with dialysis. Fortunately this is usually temporary. [unckidneycenter.org]
Finally, moderate to severe renal failure is usually associated with a poor renal prognosis, despite α-IFN withdrawal. [journals.lww.com]
Etiology
Multiple etiological factors include vascular endothelial cell damage due to shiga toxin; factor h deficiency; and aberrant von willebrand factor formation. [icd10data.com]
There are different pathologies of various etiologies, hereditary or acquired, which causes said microangiopathy. [elsevier.es]
HUS can be classified as Shiga toxin-associated HUS, which typically presents in the setting of a diarrheal infection, or atypical HUS, which describes all forms of HUS without an obvious etiology, including those caused by inherited or acquired defects [ajkdblog.org]

Pathophysiology
OBJECTIVES: The progression and pathophysiology of neuropathy in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is poorly understood, especially in relation to autophagy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology[edit] One cause of microangiopathy is long-term diabetes mellitus. [en.wikipedia.org]

The offending agent suspected of causing the TMA should be promptly discontinued to prevent further progression of injury. If the offending agent needs to be redosed, caution should be taken to re-introduce the drug at a lower dose. [ajkdblog.org]
