Severe acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are considered to be uncommon in patients with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, a recent case series from a tertiary care hospital indicated that 54 (59%) of 92 patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura presented with AKI; 14 (15%) required dialysis; and 12 (22%) of the 54 patients had CKD at follow-up. Methods: In this prospective analysis of 78 patients diagnosed with their first episode of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and enrolled in the Oklahoma Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Registry from 1995 to 2015, we assessed AKI at diagnosis using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria, and CKD at follow-up as defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate |
