Rodeghiero F, et al EHA 2010 Bone Marrow Fibrosis • Re(culin can be a normal component of bone marrow – Increased re(culin (re(culin fibrosis, detected by silver stain) is associated with both benign condi(ons and malignant diseases; usually not associated with abnormal blood cell counts, o`en reversible • Collagen is less commonly found in bone marrow – Increased collagen (collagen fibrosis, detected by trichrome stain) is characteris(c of myeloprolifera(ve disorders and metasta(c tumors; frequently associated with abnormal blood cell counts, less likely to be reversible9 • Re(culin deposi(on in bone marrow sec(ons graded on a scale of 0 to 4 – Grade 1 to 2 re(culin found in bone marrow from 69 to 76% of healthy individuals; 4 to 5% grade 2; none were grade 3 or 4 – Grades 1 to 2 re(culin found in bone marrow from 63% of ITP pa(ents not exposed to TPO receptor agonists; 3% grade 2; none were grade 3 to 4 • Increased re*culin detected in ITP pa*ents treated with TPO receptor agonists Discussione e Conclusioni Non ci sono evidenze per raccomandare i TPO mimetici in prima linea al posto dello steroide + Ig Nella seconda linea di trattamento, non ci sono evidenze sufficienti per raccomandare i TPO mimetici come prima scelta. La splenectomia è efficace nell’80% dei casi, ma può essere anche rifiutata dal paziente. Altri immunospressivi possono essere scelti prima della splenectomia e prima dei TPO mimetici.

Effects of NOACs on Coagula=on Assays NOACs cause a significant prolonga(on of coagula(on reac(ons producing misleading results in rou(ne closng assays Direct Thrombin Inhibitors Direct FXa Inhibitors PT in sec and INR ↑ ↑ APTT ↑ ↑ ↑↑ No Thrombin Time (TT) Fibrinogen (Clauss) No/↓ No D-‐dimers No No These altera(ons do not correlate with the clinical effect, therefore these tests are not to be performed to determine the drug ac(vity. Effect of Dabigatran on APTT Current problems with measuring these drugs • No validated assays • Each drug has unique effect • Drug effect on cloing factors is transient • Therapeu*c ranges are uncertain WHICH TEST? • APTT • Thrombin Time (TT) • PT-INR • Ecarin clotting time (ECT) • Anti-Xa • Thrombin Generation What the users of the new oral anticoagulants need to know • The new direct Factor Xa- and IIa-inhibitors affect conventional clotting tests • These effects are reagent-dependent • Do not routinely measure aPTT or prothrombin time to detect over- or underdose • Use specific tests recommended (if available) to detect over- or underdose, in particular in special patient populations • However there is no need for routine monitoring.
