Human immunodeficiency virus-associated thrombotic microangiopathies: clinical characteristics and outcome according to ADAMTS13 activity.

Abstract：

:Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a risk factor for thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). We sought whether a severe deficiency in ADAMTS13, the enzyme specifically involved in the cleavage of von Willebrand factor, was associated with specific presenting features and outcome in HIV-associated TMA. In this prospective, multicentre, case-control study, 29 patients of 236 in the French Network on TMA had an HIV-associated TMA. Seventeen patients with severe ADAMTS13 deficiency (ADAMTS13 <5% HIV(+) group) were compared to 12 patients with a detectable ADAMTS13 activity (ADAMTS13 >or=5% HIV(+) group). HIV(+) patients were also compared to 62 patients with idiopathic TMA, either with (45 patients, ADAMTS13 <5% idiopathic group) or without (17 patients, ADAMTS13 >or=5% idiopathic group) severe ADAMTS13 deficiency. ADAMTS13 <5% HIV(+) patients had less AIDS-related complications than ADAMTS13 >or=5% HIV(+) patients (23.5% versus 91.6%, respectively, P = 0.0005) and their median CD4(+) T cell count was higher (P = 0.05). TMA-associated death rate was higher in ADAMTS13 >or=5% HIV(+) patients than in ADAMTS13 <5% HIV(+) patients (50% versus 11.7%, respectively, P = 0.04). In ADAMTS13 <5% patients, TMA-associated death rate was comparable between HIV(+) and idiopathic patients (15.5% in idiopathic patients, P-value was non-significant). By contrast, TMA-associated death rate in ADAMTS13 >or=5% HIV(+) patients was higher than in idiopathic patients (11.7% in idiopathic patients, P = 0.04). In conclusion, HIV-associated TMA with severe ADAMTS13 deficiency have less AIDS-related complications and a higher CD4(+) T cell count. TMA prognosis is better and comparable to this of idiopathic forms.
