343.4.2 💊 治療粟芁

  • ARASOMT (ACE/ARB + statin + ASA + BP control) first-line per CORAL 2014; stent for refractory HTN/flash pulmonary edema/progressive CKD
  • FMDballoon angioplasty alone (no stent typically); 50-60% HTN cure
  • RVTanticoagulation (LMWH for cancer; DOAC otherwise) + treat underlying nephrotic
  • TTPdaily plasma exchange + corticosteroids + caplacizumab (HERCULES, FDA 2019) + rituximab for relapsing/refractory + avoid platelets
  • aHUSeculizumab (Soliris) or ravulizumab (Ultomiris) anti-C5 + meningococcal vaccination pre-treatment
  • STEC HUSsupportive only; avoid antibiotics (may worsen Shiga toxin release)
  • drug-induced TMAstop offending agent + supportive
  • cholesterol embolismno specific antidote + statins + ASA + avoid further procedures
  • HTN nephropathyBP < 130/80 (KDIGO 2021) + ACE/ARB first-line + multi-drug + SGLT2i emerging
  • malignant HTN emergencyIV labetalol/nicardipine/clevidipine/nitroprusside; reduce SBP 20-25% in first hour (then gradual)
  • scleroderma renal crisisACE inhibitor (captopril titrated up) — lifesaving + ARB if intolerant + avoid prednisone

343.4.3 🎯 盧醫垫的考前提醒

  1. CORAL trial (2014) changed ARAS practicestent + OMT not superior to OMT alone for most → OMT first-line + stent reserved for refractory HTN, flash pulmonary edema, progressive CKD
  2. FMD vs ARAS 鑑別FMD = young women + “string of beads” + medial type 80-90% + balloon angioplasty cure 50-60%; ARAS = elderly atherosclerosis + bilateral often
  3. renal vein thrombosis (RVT) risk in nephroticMN with albumin < 2.5 → highest risk → consider prophylactic anticoagulation (LMWH or DOAC)
  4. TTP diagnostic triad/pentadMAHA + thrombocytopenia + (renal + neurologic + fever); ADAMTS13 activity < 10% + anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies confirmatory; PLASMIC score for pre-treatment probability
  5. HERCULES (2019) caplacizumab for TTPanti-vWF nanobody + reduces recovery time + relapses; FDA 2019; adjunct to PEX + steroids
  6. aHUS vs typical STEC HUSaHUS = complement dysregulation (CFH, CFI, MCP, CFB, C3 mutations) → eculizumab / ravulizumab; STEC HUS = E. coli O157:H7 post-bloody diarrhea → supportive only, avoid antibiotics (controversy)
  7. eculizumab requires meningococcal vaccination pre-treatment (C/Y conjugate + B vaccines 2 weeks before); strict prophylaxis if urgent
  8. cholesterol embolism post-arterial procedurelivedo reticularis + blue toes + eosinophilia + Hollenhorst plaques (retinal) + multi-organ; no specific antidote
  9. scleroderma renal crisisrapid + severe HTN + AKI + TMA; ACE inhibitor (captopril titrated up) lifesaving + avoid prednisone (may precipitate) + recovery often takes months
  10. malignant HTN treatment principlereduce SBP 20-25% in first hour, then gradual (avoid precipitous drop → cerebral / renal ischemia); IV labetalol or nicardipine first-line
