343.4.2 ð æ²»ç粟èŠ
- ARASïŒOMT (ACE/ARB + statin + ASA + BP control) first-line per CORAL 2014; stent for refractory HTN/flash pulmonary edema/progressive CKD
- FMDïŒballoon angioplasty alone (no stent typically); 50-60% HTN cure
- RVTïŒanticoagulation (LMWH for cancer; DOAC otherwise) + treat underlying nephrotic
- TTPïŒdaily plasma exchange + corticosteroids + caplacizumab (HERCULES, FDA 2019) + rituximab for relapsing/refractory + avoid platelets
- aHUSïŒeculizumab (Soliris) or ravulizumab (Ultomiris) anti-C5 + meningococcal vaccination pre-treatment
- STEC HUSïŒsupportive only; avoid antibiotics (may worsen Shiga toxin release)
- drug-induced TMAïŒstop offending agent + supportive
- cholesterol embolismïŒno specific antidote + statins + ASA + avoid further procedures
- HTN nephropathyïŒBP < 130/80 (KDIGO 2021) + ACE/ARB first-line + multi-drug + SGLT2i emerging
- malignant HTN emergencyïŒIV labetalol/nicardipine/clevidipine/nitroprusside; reduce SBP 20-25% in first hour (then gradual)
- scleroderma renal crisisïŒACE inhibitor (captopril titrated up) â lifesaving + ARB if intolerant + avoid prednisone

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