I have itp before 15 years . My platelet cells are around 15k - 25k. I'm living very healthy because i have taken full vegetarian diet. I have maintained my weight. I daily do walking and softly sports games. No street food , no alcohol, no drug , no heavy spicy food.

If anyone can still see this, my husband was first diagnosed with TTP 2014 relapsed 2021 and just now august 2023. We would really really like to meet with a specialist with this, as our hematologist just doesn’t have the experience with TTP.

How does TTP cause hemolytic anemia

[@PedramV]

Clots in small vessels break red blood cells down

[@pallavinambiar7675]

the thrombi shear the RBCs; hence hemolytic anemia

[@sheikhirshad2213]

Thanku ...!!

[@osmosis]

[@salamsthoughts5842]

Does it cause heavy head?

[@saskiabilstein8073]

I was diagnosed last mont. I felt dissy and tired and had headache. And I had those little blue points on my body. Please if you think you have TTP go to your doctor ASAP. Greetings from Germany

[@iarinaspineanu7328]

it causes headaches because it obstructs the blood flow due to formation of blood clots in the small arteries

[@Captain_Prabakaran]

Can we use clotting factors on this

[@sarai9076]

TTP is treated with plasmapheresis

[@mta5277]

excellent !!

[@osmosis]

Thanks! 🥰

[@pyramidtop7205]

does removing spleen helps?

[@iarinaspineanu7328]

yes it can help, but it's not the first option, first line treatment is plasmapheresis and plasma transfusions, and if those fail the next option is splenectomy.

[@mihocraul-andrei3837]

Wow, thank you Iarina!!!

[@fayzio5282]

But why do they have thrombocytopenia?

[@iarinaspineanu7328]

most of the platelets are used to form blood clots and because this process is continuous and the bone marrow can"t keep up with the production of new platelets, this results in thrombocytopenia. hopefully this helps xx

[@dahobodan]

omg omg maybe its just me but lord have mercy just say von willebrand factor like a normal person
