Now for an update on #TTP -- always a disease I enjoy teaching about -- the pathophysiology combines so much #heme goodness. Also, I always enjoy the summary slide up front from Dr. George. #ASPHO2021 1/n

For those studying for boards in the future... this is the classic TTP blood smear! #mededpearls #TTP #ADAMTS13 #ASPHO2021 2/n

Hereditary TTP management summarized here -- nice to have it on one slide! 3/n

Diagnosis of acquired TTP - use the PLASMIC score. Characteristics of pediatric patients with aTTP just published by Siddiqui et al. 4/n

Dr. George's last point here.. acquired TTP is likely lifelong TTP :/ 5/5
