In the past two decades, in addition to idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) more cases of secondary TTP have been identified, perhaps due to an enthusiasm for cure potential with an availability of exchange-plasmapheresis. An early diagnosis is important, because the evaluation of patients with suspected thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is difficult since the diagnostic criteria, thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic haemolytic anemia and no other clinically apparent etiology are not specific.
在过去二十年中，除了特发性血栓性血小板减少性紫癜（TTP）外，已发现更多继发性TTP病例，这可能是由于有了治疗潜力的血浆置换疗法，人们对此充满热情。早期诊断很重要，因为对疑似血栓性血小板减少性紫癜患者的评估很困难，因为诊断标准（血小板减少、微血管病性溶血性贫血且无其他明显临床病因）并不具有特异性。
