Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, identified by the abbreviation TTP, is a rare and serious blood disorder in which small clots form in the blood vessels throughout the body, which reduces the number of available platelets.
Common manifestations: It may be accompanied by bruises or small spots on the skin, intense fatigue, paleness and, at times, neurological symptoms such as confusion.
When is it urgent? Because it is a condition that can progress rapidly, the appearance of unexplained bruises along with marked weakness or changes in alertness requires immediate care.
Which specialist treats it? The hematologist is the professional who studies diseases of the blood and clotting; when this type is suspected, a timely evaluation is essential.
