here is how I remember them: TTP: ADAMTS13 def => vWF everywhere => MAHA "The Terrible Pentad" 1 FEVER 2 Renal fail 3 Neuro. 4 Anemia 5 PLT HUS: E.coli (in child., history of bloody diarrhea-eaten a burger) ITP: idiopathic = exclusion of everything else
One thing I'm not clear on, if DIC and TTP can both affect any vessel, is why they would have different symptoms? Would they not present in the same way? For example, confusion you say is commonly associated with one, not another. If it is as different vessels are commonly affected (though in theory any COULD be affected), why?
