ABSTRACT

Objective: To present a case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Design: Case report. Setting: An ICU of a Gynecology and Obstetrics hospital, Toluca, Mexico. Patient: A 19-yrs-old patient with preeclampsia. Measurements and main results: Blood hemoglobin 8.1 g/dL, schistocytes in blood smear, creatinine clearance 25.2 mL/min, fractional excretion of sodium 4.8% and calculated colloid osmotic pressure 7.6 mmHg, was found; total destruction of vascular endothelium and thrombosis in a gingival mucous biopsy was observed. Conclusion: Thrombotic microangiopathy may be present in patients with preeclampsia.
