Abstract EN
Complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare form of thrombotic microangiopathy but has high rates of mortality and morbidity.
Effective treatment exists with eculizumab for this condition, but administration of treatment is often delayed because of overlapping symptoms with other causes of thrombotic microangiopathy.
We present a case of a 78-year-old male who was eventually diagnosed with complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy.
We also discuss the use of the PLASMIC scoring model to assist in more rapid diagnosis and discernment between various thrombotic microangiopathies.
