	HUS & TTP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In TTP, the microthrombi occur throughout the microcirculation; and microvascular thromboses may be found in the brain, skin, intestines, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen, adrenals, and heart...CNS findings alert to the TTP end of the spectrum.
		In TTP, insufficiency of ADAMTS-13 may be the key component in the pathogenesis of ULVWF multimer–induced platelet thrombosis.
		ULVWF multimers are abundant and fibrinogen/fibrin turnover is minimal in TTP, whereas fibrinogen/fibrin turnover is abundant in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

	Thrombotic Thromboctyopenic Purpura (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a clinical syndrome defined by the presence of thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.
		The damage triggers a cascade of biochemical events that ultimately leads to the characteristic feature of TTP - widespread dissemination of hyaline thrombi, composed predominantly of platelets and fibrin, which occlude the terminal arterioles and capillaries (microcirculation) of most of the major body organs, commonly, the heart, brain, kidneys, pancreas and adrenals.
		The first case of TTP was described by Moschcowitz, in 1925, in which a 16 year old female was admitted to the hospital with an acute and fatal illness that included stroke and heart failure.

	Plavix and TTP - Health and Medical Information produced by doctors - MedicineNet.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		TTP is a very rare condition, occurring in only four out of every million individuals; however, it may occur with increased frequency with pregnancy, AIDS, cancer, vaccinations and treatment with drugs such as cyclosporine (Sandimmune), oral contraceptives, ticlopidine (Ticlid) and some drugs used for treating cancer.
		A new association of TTP and the drug Plavix (clopidogrel) will be reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, but because of the potential importance to patients of this association, the Journal has posted the study's results on its web site prior to publication.
		Although TTP can be diagnosed with readily-available blood tests, testing of patients taking clopidogrel is not recommended, perhaps because TTP is such a rare side effect, and it is not known if earlier diagnosis (with earlier discontinuation of drug) would be beneficial.

	Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)
		Most adult-onset TTP appears to be secondary to the development of an antibody that inhibits this enzyme activity, whereas the childhood form is due to a simple reduction in enzyme activity.
		TTP can occur in late pregnancy or even after the birth and as it can also cause high blood pressure TTP can sometimes be hard to distinguish from eclampsia.
		TTP preferentially affects the blood vessels of the brain and kidneys.

	American Family Physician: Recognition of TTP Is Key When Prescribing Clopidogrel - Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura
		TTP generally is considered idiopathic but has been associated with use of various medications.
		TTP typically develops within the first two weeks after the initiation of therapy, but recurrence has been reported two months after therapy was discontinued.
		Unfortunately, the neurologic symptoms associated with TTP may be mistaken for those of stroke or transient ischemic attack, problems for which the drug was originally prescribed.--j.t.k.

	TTP Associated with Clopidogrel - Journal Watch (General)
		During the past several years, cases of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) have occurred among patients who were treated with ticlopidine (Ticlid), a similar antiplatelet drug.
		These investigators describe 11 cases of TTP associated with clopidogrel; cases were identified by surveying hematologists, blood banks, and the drug manufacturer.
		In 10 of the 11 cases, clopidogrel had been used for 2 weeks or less when TTP was diagnosed; the other case was diagnosed after nearly a year of use.

	eMedicine - Thrombocytopenic Purpura : Article by D Symonette, MD, MPH, FACEP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		TTP is associated with pregnancy; diseases such as HIV, cancer, bacterial infection, and vasculitis; bone marrow transplantation; stem cell transplantation; and drugs.
		ULVWF multimers are abundant and fibrinogen/fibrin is minimal in TTP, whereas fibrinogen/fibrin is abundant in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
		TTP is difficult to diagnose because the patient's presentation can be nonspecific and the characteristic pentad of symptoms may not occur together.

	Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS) & Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) - nephrologychannel
		Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) are microangiopathic disorders — that is, they are characterized by abnormalities (chiefly blood clots) that occur within the small blood vessels of the body.
		Although the exact cause(s) of HUS and TTP are unknown, experts believe that an abnormal, inflammatory reaction within the blood stimulates the deposition of platelet-rich thrombi.
		HUS and TTP usually are diagnosed by the combination of low platelets and anemia caused by hemolysis.

	TTP and HUS: will recent insight into pathogenesis translate into better treatment?
		HUS usually differs from TTP in presentation, natural history and the response of patients to treatment, leading some to conclude that HUS and TTP are different disorders.
		The outcome of HUS in these patients is frequently the same as the outcome for adult TTP, with progressive deterioration and death due to thrombotic events.
		However, approximately 25% of elderly patients in a nursing home who were reported to have a similar infection developed HUS and/or TTP, and many of these patients died.

		Method: 5000 simulations of TTP were performed assuming 1:1 randomization, a Poisson accrual process, exponential TTP, non-informative censoring, and 24 mo study duration.
		When studies compare TTP of treatment regimens given by different schedules, tumor progression should be evaluated on symmetric schedules.
		TTP results associated with asymmetric censoring may also yield biased results.

		Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare and life-threatening blood disorder in which the blood cells that play a key role in blood clotting (platelets) are rapidly consumed by excessive clotting.
		Untreated, it can cause a wide variety of problems throughout the body, ranging from confusion to skin discolorations across the entire body.
		During this procedure, the liquid part of the blood (plasma) is removed from the patient, stripped of the antibodies thought to be causing TTP and returned via transfusion back to the patient.
