| Abstract: | We studied the state of ultralarge von Willebrand factor (ULVWF) proteolysis in 21
pediatric patients with severe sepsis and found that the overall group of patients
had moderately reduced ADAMTS-13 activity, but 31% had severe enzymatic deficiency.
The severe deficiency correlated with greater adhesion activity of von
Willebrand factor, severity of thrombocytopenia and plasma levels of interleukin-6.
It also correlated clinically with severity of illness and organ dysfunction. These
results suggest that ULVWF proteolysis is insufficient in septic patients and severely
deficient in a subgroup of patients. The deficiency may contribute to the development
of thrombocytopenia and ischemic organ failure associated with sepsis. |
