principal treatment modality for TTP
|
Plasma exchange is the principal treatment modality for TTP and should be initiated as soon as possible to decrease patient morbidity.
Plasma exchange reverses the platelet consumption that is responsible for the thrombus formation causing the findings associated with TTP. It is acceptable to initiate plasma exchange even in circumstances when the diagnosis is in question, only to be stopped when an alternative diagnosis is established. |
