ADAMTS13 Activity with Reflex to Inhibitor

The ADAMTS13 Activity with Reflex to Inhibitor test contains 1 test with 1 biomarker.

ADAMTS-13 is a zinc metalloprotease that cleaves ultra large vWF multimers. Studies have shown that low levels of ADAMTS-13 activity are associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a life-threatening hematological condition characterized by a low platelet count, microvascular thrombi, red cell fragmentation, and renal complications. Congenital TTP is a rare inherited disease caused by mutations within the ADAMTS-13 gene, which result in the production of non-functional protein. The acquired form of TTP is an autoimmune-like disorder caused by the development of autoantibodies to ADAMTS-13 that inhibits enzyme activity.  

Additional test processing fees will be charged if initial results dictate Reflex (further) testing.
