From Almost Universally Fatal to Largely Treatable iTTP – American Society of Hematology
American Society of Hematology shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Ahmet Emre Eşkazan, published in The Hematologist, adding:
“Immune-mediated thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations in modern hematology.
Once considered almost universally fatal, it is now a largely treatable disease due to advances in therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), immunosuppression, and targeted therapy.
Nevertheless, important challenges remain in early diagnosis, equitable access to treatment, relapse prevention, and long-term patient outcomes.”
