Overview
The mainstay of treatment for TTP is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either no cure with plasma treatments and medicines.
Indications
- Surgery is not the first line treatment option for patients withTTP when plasma treatments(PEX) and medicines do not cure TTP, surgery is needed.[1]
Surgery
- Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients withTTP. Sometimes splenectomy is needed, because the antibodies is made by cell in spleen that block ADAMTS13 enzyme activity.[1]
