Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a condition caused by the deficiency of the enzyme ADAMTS13, which results in the formation of small blood clots in small vessels throughout the body. This can lead to organ damage and the characteristic purpura rash. ITP (B) is a condition in which the body destroys its own platelets, leading to a low platelet count and increased risk of bleeding. DIC (C) is a condition in which the clotting system is overactivated, leading to widespread clotting in the body and then subsequent bleeding. HELLP (D) is a complication of pregnancy that can lead to liver dysfunction, low platelet counts, and other features.
