| Description: | Middle-aged female underwent transplantation with her mother as a donor after appropriate desensitization. The patient developed graft dysfunction with systemic features of thrombotic microangiopathy. Renal allograft biopsy was suggestive of antibody-mediated rejection. She was treated with plasmapheresis followed by intravenous immunoglobulin. However, due to lack of response, further workup was sent and the patient was found to have ADAMTS 13 levels |
