The consequences of TTP and atypical HUS make rapid diagnosis and clinical intervention critical; therefore, increased availability of a diagnostic test for ADAMTS13 activity is extremely important in delineating between TTP and atypical HUS  In an effort to achieve this goal, the following centres are now providing timely (24-48  hour) turnaround of ADAMTS13 testing.

Note: blood draws for ADAMTS13 activity testing should be done prior to commencing plasma-based therapy.
