Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a syndrome characterized by microvascular thrombosis with thrombocytopenia and end-organ injury. Evidence suggests that platelet or endothelial cell injury may be initial pathological events in TTP. A number of factors in patient plasma, including immunog

Various hemostatic and vascular endothelial cell markers were measured in patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), non-DIC, or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and in healthy volunteers to examine the relationships between the hemostatic abnormalities or vascular endothel
Extensive microvascular platelet aggregation is characteristic of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Previous studies have indicated that abnormalities of von Willebrand factor (vWf) are often present in TTP patient plasma. There has not been previously any direct evidence linking these abno
