Complement protein Ba levels indicate transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy

Researchers discover a link between an increase in protein Ba of the complement immune system and the eventual development of thrombotic microangiopathy in patients who have received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a fatal complication that can occur after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Study finds that despite previous reports, TA-TMA development was predicted not by complement-related genetic variants, but high levels of complement protein Ba.
