Q

Red kayak flowing through the tiny river. The current is strong. He does break down.Another kayak hit the sandy boulder and break down. Mud is clogging pieces of sand and water is clearer. Adam feels weak and sees Willendbrand putting more glue into the water. He calls an excavator which is far so he used dynamite Later Adam put a mash to avoid floating rocks to break his kayak.

A

MAHA - micronangiohemolytic anemia
MAH and thrombocytopenia eg TTP
ADAMSTS3 breaks down vW factor thus blocking clotting. Autoantibodies against Adam can be eliminated by adding more adam
- FFP
-steroids dynamite
-plasmapheresis mash
The only way to find out is to check how many Adams kayaks.
