Gemcitabine‐induced thrombotic microangiopathy

Abstract: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a microvascular occlusive disorder characterised by platelet aggregation, thrombocytopenia and end-organ damage. It is commonly idiopathic, although several drug classes, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, have been implicated. Several of cases of gemcitabine-induced TMA have been documented with incidence likely to increase with the escalating use of gemcitabine. We report the cases of two patients who developed TMA while on gemcitabine chemotherapy.

“…Data on the survival of patients after their initial care is too scarce in this cohort to conclude on the benefit of PE, and no data are available on long‐term renal outcome. Cases of spontaneous remissions with symptomatic treatment only have been reported previously in G‐TMA. In a retrospective cohort of 44 patients with G‐TMA, Gore et al .…”

“…Trombotinė trombocitopeninė purpura (TTP) ir hemolizinis ureminis sindromas (HUS) yra du pagrindiniai TMA tipai [3,5]. Kliniškai pasireiškia karščiavimu, neurologiniais simptomais, inkstų funkcijos sutrikimu, arterine hipertenzija, kvėpavimo arba virškinimo sistemos sutrikimais [2].…”

“…Ne visada pavyksta atskirti TTP ir HUS dėl persidengiančių simptomų, tačiau neurologiniai sutrikimai vyrauja TTP, o inkstų disfunkcija -HUS atveju. Diferencijuoti patologijas padeda imunogenetiniai tyrimai -TTP būdingas žymus ADAMTS13 trūkumas, tačiau klinikinėje praktikoje diagnozei nustatyti dažnai pakanka trombocitopenijos, šistocitozės, padidėjusios LDH koncentracijos [5]. Dauguma TMA atvejų idiopatinės kilmės, tačiau šią patologiją gali lemti ir infekcija, autoimuninės ligos, nėštumas, onkologinės ligos, medikamentai, kaulų čiulpų transplantacija ir citotoksinė chemoterapija [5,6].…”
