  • Overview

    Because immune-mediated rare blood disorders are uncommon, healthcare providers often lack the knowledge and experience necessary to identify, diagnose, and treat them in accordance with best practices. As a result, there are significant gaps in care, including delays in diagnosis and suboptimal treatment. To ensure that more patients with these rare disorders are offered quality, evidence-based care, it’s essential that healthcare providers possess up-to-date information about best practices and new developments in this area of medicine. In this activity, composed of 3 podcasts, an expert moderator will interview 3 expert faculty members about evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, developments in the diagnosis and treatment of cold agglutinin disease, and the challenges of achieving enduring remission in patients with immune thrombocytopenia.
