Official Title: Identification of Early Predictive Factors of Cardiac and Cerebral Involvement in Thrombotic Microangiopathies
Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of cardiac and cerebral involvements in patients with idiopathic thrombotic microangiopathies on diagnosis. Patients will be assessed for cardiac involvement (troponin Ic level and cardiac ultrasonography) and cerebral involvement (cerebral MRI). The investigators will assess whether serum troponin Ic on diagnosis can predict morbidity and mortality of patients with a thrombotic microangiopathy at the acute phase.
The primary outcome measurement is the event free survival at day 30, as defined by death, myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, severe cerebral injury and disease exacerbation. An increase in troponin Ic on diagnosis is defined as at least one result above 0.2 ng/ml among the three daily analyses performed after TMA diagnosis.
