Diagnosis of thrombotic microangiopathy in preeclampsia in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and treatment by cesarean section

A pregnant common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) showed tachypnea, hypothermia, and anorexia at close to the expected delivery date. Severe anemia and thrombocytopenia, schistocytes, and high levels of LDH and D‐dimer were observed. Three days after the onset of clinical signs, a cesarean section was...

Description
Summary:A pregnant common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) showed tachypnea, hypothermia, and anorexia at close to the expected delivery date. Severe anemia and thrombocytopenia, schistocytes, and high levels of LDH and D‐dimer were observed. Three days after the onset of clinical signs, a cesarean section was conducted due to stillbirth. Marmoset immediately recovered after surgery, and the abnormal CBC and blood chemistry parameters before surgery returned to the normal ranges. Diagnosis of pregnancy‐associated thrombotic microangiopathy was made because removal of infant and placenta is curative. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of thrombotic microangiopathy in a marmoset with preeclampsia.
