Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a blood disorder that results in blood clots forming in small blood vessels throughout the body. This results in a low platelet count, low red blood cells due to their breakdown, and often kidneys, heart, and brain dysfunction

Plasmapheresis procedures:

Plasmapheresis is a medical procedure designed to remove some plasma from the blood. During a plasma exchange, unhealthy plasma is swapped for healthy plasma or a plasma substitute, before the blood is returned to the body.

During plasmapheresis donation, you will rest on a cot. Then a needle or catheter will be placed into a vein in the crux of whichever arm has the most robust artery. In some cases, a catheter is placed in the groin or shoulder.

Replacement or returned plasma flows into your body through a second tube that is placed in the arm or foot.

The procedure can last between one and three hours. You may need as many as five treatments per week. Treatment frequency can vary widely from condition to condition, and also depend on your overall health.

Sometimes hospitalization is required. Other times outpatient treatment is possible.

Why Plasmapheresis?

Plasmapheresis have been proven to help to treat a range of medical conditions, most especially Blood disorders, such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a rare disorder that causes blood clots.

Immune globulin infusion.Generally treatment is not needed for some individuals with TIP. However low platelets counts and some symptoms(e.g bleeding from the nose,easy bruising,blood stained urine and stools) may necessitated the administration of immune globulin infusion. The intravenous procedure last for a week to two.

Explanation:

TIP, is an autoimmune disorder in which disruptions to the blood clotting mechanisms, leads to failure of the blood to clot normally.it is due to low platelet counts due to attack on the thrombocytes/platelets by the immune system.

it can be caused by viral infection in kids, but disappear without treatment, and by HIV-in adults.
