ADAMTS-13 Levels Do Not Predict Outcome in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: Protein S Levels Are Maintained during Plasma Exchange with Solvent Detergent Treated Plasma.

Abstract Introduction The ultimate therapy for TTP is not yet defined. While approximately 85% of patients respond to plasma exchange with FFP, the use of alternative solutions such as cryosupernatant plasma, which is deficient in the high molecular weight forms of vWF. has not been proven by appropriate randomized prospective sample trials. However, it is intellectually appealing. Additionally, the use of the ADAMTS 13 level …
