ADAMTS13 ENZYMYE - VONWILLDEBRAND FACTOR - TTP - Looking for help or information
Hello, I am a patient in a hospital with a relapse of TTP. I am looking for any professional medical information that can help my Dr. treat me. I don't know if I have the familial form or the autoimmune form. I am currently being treated with plasma exchange and solumedusol(?) - prednisone. I am a 53 year old female. My first episode happened when I was 45. I had a second episode in 2002, a third epiode this past January - where I recovered well and quickly with steroids. I had a 4th episode on July25 - and it was rough. I had 13 days of plasmapherisis with 2 treatments for two of those days and I had to have a blood transfusion of 2 units of blood also. I was released on August 5 - last night (Aug 11) I was readmitted with a relapse. My Dr. did the test for ADAMTS13 and antibody last Jan during my episode. I had < than 5% ADAMTS13 enzyme but did not show any anti-body against it. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, DAWN
