Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) appears to be a heterogeneous disease. In some patients, autoimmunity may be associated with an inflammatory process, and in other patients, low platelets may interfere with other aspects of the coagulation system. Either may predispose to thrombosis or bleeding. Further investigation of the interactions of platelets, with inflammatory cytokines and endothelial biomarkers, may help us to better understand the disease, and to recognize those patients at risk of bleeding, or conversely thrombosis. The aim of this work is to estimate von Willebrand factor (vWF) and vascular cellular adhesion molecule (V-CAM) serum levels in adult immune thrombocytopenic patients (ITP) and to decipher their possible clinical correlates. Eighty adults (≥ 18 years) were enrolled in the study; naive newly diagnosed 40 patients with primary ITP (according to the ASH 2019) and 40 sex and age-matched healthy controls, all groups are subjected for complete blood count (CBC), liver, and renal function tests, ESR, CRP, V-CAM, and VWF-Ag by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). There was a highly statistically significant difference between case and control as regards to the mean level of VWF-Ag and V-CAM. vWF and V-CAM could serve as biomarkers for endothelial alterations and should be investigated as a predictor of thrombocytopenic bleeding and tailor patient management accordingly.
