Ordering Recommendation

Assist in distinguishing between inherited and acquired forms of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).  Not recommended as initial test for identification of autoantibodies to ADAMTS13, since the ADAMTS13 antibody test is less specific for acquired TTP than ADAMTS13 Inhibitor (3000228).  Order when acquired TTP is suspected but antibodies are not identified by the ADAMTS13 inhibitor test.
