Overview

Differential Diagnosis

The main differential diagnosis of TTP is hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS; which has neurosymptoms, renal failure, hypertension and fever). Note that ADAMTS13 activity is normal in HUS.

TTP must be differentiated from

  • Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
  • Hypertension
  • Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)
  • Malignant Hypertension

Differentiating [disease name] from other diseases on the basis of [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]

On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], [disease name] must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].
