Where does the disease ‘ttp’ come from?
My mother just died a few days ago in the hospital from a blood disease called ‘ttp’. Apparently there were blood clots forming all over her body and even though treatement was working, she died suddenly of an annurism. I understand everything about the death, but she only was diagnosed a week before she died and i was wondering, where could it have came from??
The exact cause of thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura is unknown.
Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP) is a rare, serious blood disease. Major symptoms may include a severe decrease in the number of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia), abnormal destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), and disturbances in the nervous system. Kidney dysfunction and fever are also common.
I am very sorry for the loss of your mother. My prayers are with you and your family.
