Overview
Natural History
Complications
Prognosis
The mortality rate is approximately 95% for untreated cases, but the prognosis is reasonably favorable (80-90%) for patients with idiopathic TTP diagnosed and treated early with plasmapheresis.
Approximately one-third of patients experiencing a TTP episode have a relapse within 10 years following their first attack.
Secondary TTP still has a dismal prognosis, with mortality rates despite treatment being reported as 59% to 100%.
