Saleh Shamse Basha: Case Report of MAHA Secondary to Prosthetic Mitral Valve

Saleh Shamse Basha, Senior Hematology Technologist and Hematology and Coagulation Specialist, shared a post on LinkedIn:

”Case report – Hemolysis from prosthetic mitral valve.

Blood smear presenting:

-Schistocytes
-Thrombocytopenia
-Nucleated RBCs

Is it TTP , DIC , or MAHA ?!!

-Haptoglubine low
-LDH high

-PT and aPTT prolonged but the patient on anticoagulant.
-Dimer and fibrinogen are normal.
-ADAMTS13 was ordered — and came back normal.

We excluded the TTP and DIC, This is most likely MAHA secondary to a heart valve.

Feel free to check out the video below.”
