Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare, life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy. In acquired TTP (aTTP), microthrombi form in small blood vessels throughout the body, causing hypoxia in organs including the brain, kidneys, and heart. The reported incidence of TTP is 2 to 6 cases per million per year, and the reported mortality is 10% to 20% with proper treatment. In recent years, a number of new therapeutic agents and regimens have been developed to properly manage aTTP requiring detailed guidance.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

Review diagnostic challenges that are specific to aTTP.
Apply disease-specific tests to diagnose aTTP based upon clinical manifestations.
Analyze clinical trial data of approved and investigational therapies for the treatment of aTTP.
