Description
Jeff Winters described the essentials of therapeutic apheresis in BBGuy Essentials 025. He is back today to address how to use those principles to treat Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, or "TTP." This terrifying disease, caused in adults primarily by a deficiency of an enzyme with a funny name, "ADAMTS13", can be rapidly fatal if not promptly diagnosed and treated.
