Main Causes of Low Platelets

TTP

TTP or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare disease when many tiny clots are formed in the body, thus using up your platelets. If left untreated for an extended period, it might cause some life-threatening complications. The most common treatment for this issue is to replace or treat your plasma, the blood cells that contain autoantibodies. The process will take place gradually to avoid removing too much blood from the patients at one time. [4]
