In this episode, we discuss the clinical presentation, laboratory abnormalities, initial work-up and treatment of TTP. We review the pathophysiology and also how to distinguish TTP from other MAHAs based on the patient's lab findings and clinical presentation. The medicine minute discusses the first known case of TTP and the timeline of discovery of the etiology behind TTP.
