Plasma Exchange in Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)-Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA): A Case Report.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare yet potentially life-threatening condition. The diagnosis is difficult as there are other conditions presenting with features akin to TMA during the peripartum period such as eclampsia, preeclampsia, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome, and antiphospholipid syndrome. A 28-year-old woman with no significant past medical history developed TMA following a massive hemorrhage after an emergency cesarean section at 41 weeks of gestation.
