- Explore Disease States. TTP Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) is a rare, life-threatening disorder of the blood-coagulation system which causes microscopic clots to form in small blood vessels throughout the body. Although it’s rare, TTP affects about 4 to 6 people per million per year, most often women and African-Americans.

- With fewer platelets available in the blood, bleeding problems can occur. People who have TTP may bleed inside their bodies, underneath the skin, or from the surface of the skin. When cut or injured, they also may bleed longer than normal. Thrombotic (throm-BOT-ik) refers to the blood clots that form.

- Mutations in the TTN gene cause tibial muscular dystrophy. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called titin. Titin plays an important role in muscles the body uses for movement (skeletal muscles) and in heart (cardiac) muscle.ibial muscular dystrophy is a condition that affects the muscles at the front of the lower leg. The signs and symptoms of this condition typically appear after age 35. The first sign is usually weakness and wasting (atrophy) of a muscle in the lower leg called the tibialis anterior.

Platelets on the Web TTP describes an illness for which the full name is too long to remember: T is for Thrombotic, a term describing blood clots, which are called thrombi. In TTP, thrombi caused by clumps of platelets block small blood vessels. That can cause damage to organs such as the kidneys, heart, and brain.T is for Thrombocytopenic, a term describing low platelet counts.Platelets are blood cells that are needed to stop bleeding.n TTP, thrombi caused by clumps of platelets block small blood vessels.

Peripheral Arterial Disease  (PAD) Smoking and the Risk of Peripheral Artery Disease. Peripheral artery disease (P.A.D.) is a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your head, organs, and limbs. Smoking is a major risk factor for P.A.D. P.A.D. usually affects the arteries that carry blood to your legs.

- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare blood disorder. In TTP, blood clots form in small blood vessels throughout the body. The clots can limit or block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body's organs, such as the brain, kidneys, and heart. As a result, serious health problems can develop. The increased clotting that occurs in TTP also uses up platelets (PLATE-lets) in the blood. Platelets are blood cell fragments that help form blood clots. These cell fragments stick together to seal small cuts and breaks on blood vessel walls and stop bleeding.

Platelet Transfusion Guidelines Platelet transfusions were documented in 10.1% of TTP, 7.1% of HIT, and 25.8% of ITP admissions. Platelet transfusions in TTP were associated with higher odds of arterial thrombosis (OR=5.8, 95% CI=1.3-26.6) and mortality (OR=2.0, 95% CI=1.3-3.0), but not venous thrombosis.
