Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
Here's how to remember the laboratory findings for TTP:
TTP = “Thrombose The Platelets”
Only the platelets get used up!Not the factors.
So there will be a low platelet count and a prolonged bleeding time.
The factors don’t get used up so the PT and PTT are normal.
