Abstract:
The invention relates to a test kit for analysing the von Willebrand factor-splitting protease and for carrying out differential diagnosis between patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and patients with haemolytic-uraemic syndrome. Said test kit consists of a standard von Willebrand factor preparation which is free of von Willebrand factor-splitting activity, as a substrate for the von Willebrand factor-splitting activity in a sample or in the patient plasma, and a system for quantitatively determining the bonding of von Willebrand factor to collagen. The invention also relates to a method for detecting an acquired or congenital deficiency of von Willebrand factor-splitting protease.
