ADAMTS13 Activity and Inhibitor Profile

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Assisting with the diagnosis of congenital or acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Profile Information A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Mayo Test ID. Profile information lists the test performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.

ADMISADAMTS13 Inhibitor ScreenNoNo
ADMBUADAMTS13 Inhibitor Bethesda TiterNoNo

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

Testing begins with ADAMTS13 activity assay to evaluate the percent activity. If the ADAMTS13 activity assay is less than 30%, an inhibitor screen will be performed to look for specific ADAMTS13 inhibition. If specific inhibition is apparent, the titer of the inhibitor will be determined.
