ADAMTS13 activity was found to decline with the extent of inflammatory responses (Bockmeyer et al., 2008). Systemic inflammation results in the deficiency of ADAMTS13, and such effect activates hemostasis. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is one of the sequelae of sepsis. [...] http://digg.com/u1Pm5I
