title: [Acute pancreatitis and thrombotic microangiopathy: a two-way association].
abstract: Acute pancreatitis and thrombotic microangiopathy is an established association: but which is the cause, which is the consequence? Thanks to two case reports and a literature review, we put to light an unequivocal link. Indeed, thrombotic microangiopathy may be responsible for ischemic pancreatitis. On the other hand, acute pancreatitis, whatever its cause, may trigger thrombotic microangiopathy. In either case, an anti-ADAMTS-13 antibody can be detected: its research is mandatory.
