Abstract
Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a commonly used immunosuppressant, but its association with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is rarely reported. In recent years, CsA has been used in pregnant women with autoimmune diseases or previous immune-related adverse pregnancies. Our case involves a 34-year-old female who developed typical laboratory indicators of TMA while using CsA to improve pregnancy outcomes. After discontinuing CsA, the TMA markers gradually normalized. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CsA-induced TMA during pregnancy. We also reviewed previous case reports of CsA-induced TMA and summarized the possible mechanisms, characteristics, and risk factors, as well as methods to identify this rare adverse effect of CsA in pregnant women.
期刊介绍:
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (indexed in PubMed Central) is a peer reviewed, open access journal. It aims to provide a publication home for short case reports and case series, which often do not find a place in traditional primary research journals, but provide key insights into real medical cases that are essential for physicians, and may ultimately help to improve patient outcomes. SAGE Open Medical Case Reports does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, SAGE Open Medical Case Reports facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines. Case reports can span the full spectrum of medicine across the health sciences in the broadest sense, including: Allergy/Immunology Anaesthesia/Pain Cardiovascular Critical Care/ Emergency Medicine Dentistry Dermatology Diabetes/Endocrinology Epidemiology/Public Health Gastroenterology/Hepatology Geriatrics/Gerontology Haematology Infectious Diseases Mental Health/Psychiatry Nephrology Neurology Nursing Obstetrics/Gynaecology Oncology Ophthalmology Orthopaedics/Rehabilitation/Occupational Therapy Otolaryngology Palliative Medicine Pathology Pharmacoeconomics/health economics Pharmacoepidemiology/Drug safety Psychopharmacology Radiology Respiratory Medicine Rheumatology/ Clinical Immunology Sports Medicine Surgery Toxicology Urology Women''s Health.
