Abstract:   (2823 Views)
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathic disease, associated with thrombocytopenia and hemolytic anemia. It is caused by an enzymatic dysfunction responsible in cleavage of blood clotting factors. In this study we have tried to review the available approaches in diagnoses of the disease as well as treatment strategies. Based on the what the current review has provided, treatment policy depends on accurate diagnosis, it seems that developing a diagnostic and treatment guide for this disease is currently essential. Also, it’s necessary to study genetic types of TTP with more details because, hopefully, new techniques of gene therapy open a window to more stable treatments.
