Figure 1.

Course of thrombotic microangiopathy relevant biochemical and clinical parameters. Illustration of clinical course with regard to (A) lactate dehydrogenase and platelets and (B) creatinine and troponin. Therapeutic plasma exchange was immediately initiated at Day 8, but shortly after dialysis was necessary. As blood values did not improve rapidly, we finally administer Eculizumab and saw a rapid response in lactate dehydrogenase, platelet number, troponin, and creatinine. CVVHD, continuous veno-venous haemodialysis; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; PLT, platelets; TPE, therapeutic plasma exchange
