Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) is frequent in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). For von Willebrand factor (VWF) functional evaluation, ristocetin cofactor activity by aggregometry (VWF:RCo) is considered the gold standard but has limitations, and automated activity measurement has been developed such as the HemosIL VWF:RCo Werfen with particle agglutination (VWF:GPIbR).
To evaluate the performance of VWF:GPIbR with HemosIL VWF:RCo Werfen (VWF:GPIbR) versus VWF:RCo in patients with thrombocytosis in the context of MPNs (T-MPNs) and in patients with secondary thrombocytosis (ST).
MPN patients with thrombocytosis >450 G/L (T-MPNs) were compared with patients with ST due to inflammation or iron deficiency. VWF activity (VWF:Act) was analyzed using VWF:RCo or VWF:GPIbR. VWF analysis was completed by analysis of VWF multimers and VWF collagen binding (CB) assay (VWF:CB).
A total of 33 T-MPNs and 18 ST patients were included. Compared with aggregometry, evaluation of VWF:Act by VWF:GPIbR led to lower values in T-MPN patients, but also in ST patients. Interestingly, although the VWF:RCo/VWF:Ag ratio did not reveal differences between T-MPNs and ST patients, the VWF:GPIbR/VWF:Ag ratio analysis allowed us to suspect AVWS only in T-MPN patients. Using the distribution of VWF multimer analysis and VWF:CB, we here demonstrated that VWF:GPIbR allows AVWS diagnosis in nine T-MPNs as opposed to aggregometry.
Evaluation of VWF:Act using VWF:GPIbR has a greater sensitivity compared with aggregometry to detect AVWS in T-MPN patients.
获得性血管性血友病(AVWS)在骨髓增殖性肿瘤(MPN)患者中很常见。对于血管性血友病因子(VWF)功能评估,聚集法测定瑞斯托霉素辅因子活性(VWF:RCo)被认为是金标准,但存在局限性,并且已经开发了自动化活性测量方法,例如使用颗粒聚集的 HemosIL VWF:RCo Werfen(VWF:GPIbR)。
评估 HemosIL VWF:RCo Werfen(VWF:GPIbR)与 VWF:RCo 在 MPN 伴发血小板增多症(T-MPNs)和继发性血小板增多症(ST)患者中的性能。
将血小板计数 >450 G/L 的 MPN 患者(T-MPNs)与因炎症或铁缺乏引起的 ST 患者进行比较。使用 VWF:RCo 或 VWF:GPIbR 分析 VWF 活性(VWF:Act)。通过 VWF 多聚体分析和 VWF 胶原结合(CB)测定(VWF:CB)完成 VWF 分析。
共纳入 33 例 T-MPNs 和 18 例 ST 患者。与聚集法相比,使用 VWF:GPIbR 评估 VWF:Act 导致 T-MPN 患者和 ST 患者的 VWF:Act 值降低。有趣的是,尽管 VWF:RCo/VWF:Ag 比值在 T-MPNs 和 ST 患者之间没有差异,但 VWF:GPIbR/VWF:Ag 比值分析仅允许我们怀疑 T-MPN 患者存在 AVWS。通过 VWF 多聚体分析和 VWF:CB 的分布,我们在这里证明 VWF:GPIbR 可以在 9 例 T-MPN 中诊断 AVWS,而不是聚集法。
与聚集法相比,使用 VWF:GPIbR 评估 VWF:Act 对 T-MPN 患者中 AVWS 的检测具有更高的敏感性。
