Overview
The main differential diagnosis of TTP is hemolytic-uremic syndrome. TTP should be diffrential from the other desaeses such as TMA syndromes, disseminated intravascular coagulation ,hypertension, immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
- Malignant hypertension
- Hematological abnormalities
- Ischemic manifestations linked to autoimmune diseases
Differential Diagnosis
The main differential diagnosis of TTP is hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS, which has neurosymptoms, renal failure, hypertension and fever). Note that ADAMTS13 activity is normal in HUS.[1]
TTP must be differentiated from
- TMA syndromes
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation
- Hypertension
- Immune hrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
- Malignant hypertension
- Hematological abnormalities
- Ischemic manifestations linked to autoimmune diseases
Differentiating TTP from other diseases on the basis of Symptoms:
On the basis rombocytopenia, MAHA, fluctuating neurological signs, renal faluer and fever, TTP must be differentiated from[2]
- Autoimmune haemolysis
- Evans syndrome Disseminated intravascular coagulation Pregnancy-associated such as: HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets), eclampsia
- haemolytic uraemic syndrome
- Drugs: quinine, simvastatin, interferon, Calcineurin inhibitors
- Malignant hypertension
- Infections (typically viral (cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, herpes simplex virus)
- Severe bacterial (meningococcus, pneumococcus)
- Fungal Autoimmune disease (lupus nephritis, acute scleroderma)
- Vasculitis Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (diarrhoea positive/negative)
- Malignancy Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndro
